Welcome to the Mobilization Quick Reference Guide
Last updated: December 05, 2025
This guide exists to provide complete instructions on using the mobilization capabilities within Tenable software.
What is Mobilization?
Mobilization is the critical action stage of the exposure management lifecycle. It operationalizes prioritized Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) findings, transforming your program from a passive system of record into an active system where security intelligence translates directly into measurable business impact. This requires unifying security and remediation teams, establishing clear cross-functional workflows, and securing leadership buy-in to decisively reduce business risk across the modern attack surface.
You can use the mobilization workflow within Tenable Vulnerability Management to create initiatives and link them to tracked action items in your preferred ticketing systems without manual synchronization or complex Security, Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) solutions. Your vulnerability and exposure status updates automatically between the Tenable platform and your existing workflows, which provides you with a real-time view of your remediation progress.
Benefits of Utilizing the Mobilization Workflow
Orchestrate Remediation
Mobilization drives action between your security and remediation teams by creating a direct link between security findings and remediation workflows. This improves collaboration and accelerates response times.
Achieve a Single Source of Truth
End the need for manual data reconciliation. By linking directly to ticketing systems, you ensure your vulnerability status updates in real time as soon as the corresponding ticket is updated.
Unify Your Remediation Workflow
Remove security tool silos and operational complexity with exposure management. Mobilization allows you to identify and resolve critical risks from a single platform across multiple domains and security tools.
Get Started with Mobilization
At this time, you can utilize mobilization capabilities in both Tenable Vulnerability Management or create tickets based on findings directly within Tenable Exposure Management. For more information, see the following topics:
