Emerging Threats

Emerging Threats has a page for each newly reported critical vulnerability. Each page gives you a one-click view of every detection of that vulnerability in your environment.
When a critical vulnerability is reported, use its page to find your affected resources and start remediation without searching through all of your findings.
In the Tenable One Cloud Exposure Console, navigate to Risk > Emerging Threats and select the emerging vulnerability you want to investigate.

Note: The ability to create custom views of your most critical vulnerabilities is coming soon.
