Information Order Configuration

Required User Role: Administrator or Custom Role

Information order is the source order in which Tenable Exposure Management pulls asset property data for multi-source assets. Here, you can configure the order in which Tenable Exposure Management merges those properties and displays them on the Assets and Asset Details pages.

To configure multi-source asset Information Order:

  1. On the Exposure ManagementSettings page, click the Information Order tab.

    The Information Order Configuration options appear.

Here, you can:

  • Use the search box to search for a specific asset property or class.

  • Use the filter drop-down to filter the page by the selected asset property or class.

  • Click the button to expand any section to view the Connector's Order for that asset property or class.

  • Create a new information order:

    1. In the upper-right corner, click Create new Information Order.

      The Create new Information Order window appears.

    2. From the Asset Class drop-down menu, select the asset class you want to apply to the new information order.

    3. From the Property drop-down menu, select the property you want to apply to the new information order.

    4. In the list, drag and drop the asset sources into the order in which you want Tenable Exposure Management to pull asset property data.

    5. Click Save.

      Tenable Exposure Management saves your changes, and begins pulling asset property data for multi-source assets in the designated source order.

Same Source Asset Deduplication

Required User Role: Administrator or Custom Role

Important: The following content refers to automatic deduplication for assets from the same source. For information about the automatic deduplication of assets from different sources, see Third-Party Data Deduplication in Tenable Exposure Management .

Merging duplicate assets improves clarity, reduces noise, and enables more accurate risk assessment. The Asset Deduplication setting allows you to merge identical assets from separate sources into one asset cluster. This can be helpful when you want to:

  • Merge multiple assets from one connector source.

  • Merge multiple assets from 2 or more instances of the same connector.

You can view this logic and related data in the Asset Cluster Logic section of the Asset Details page.

To configure Asset Deduplication:

  1. On the Exposure Management Settings page, click the Asset Deduplication tab.

    The Asset Deduplication configuration options appear.

  2. Choose one of the following options:

    • Disabled (Default) — Each asset, regardless of its source, remains separated throughout Tenable Exposure Management.

    • Enabled — Each asset from the same source (connector instance) is merged into a single asset cluster.

  3. Click Save.

    Tenable Exposure Management applies your changes.
