Welcome to the Tenable Exposure Management Third-Party Connectors Quick Reference Guide

Last updated: June 18, 2025

Tenable allows you to ingest data from third-party applications for analyzing with Tenable applications, such as Tenable Exposure Management.

Tenable Exposure Management enables you to:

• Configure and connect third party applications via Connectors.

• Manage these connectors within the Tenable Exposure Management interface.

• View and interact with the data ingested from these connectors including their asset, weakness, and finding data.

This quick-reference guide aims to help you understand how Tenable Exposure Management works with data from third-party connectors, and highlights the best practices to use when managing them.

Why Integrate

Integrating third-party connectors into Tenable Exposure Management allows you to aggregate and correlate security data across tools and environments — giving your organization a unified, contextualized view of its attack surface. These integrations ingest both asset and vulnerability data from external platforms and combine it with Tenable-native data to support more effective exposure management.

Once the data is ingested, Tenable:

• Aggregates asset and vulnerability data from multiple tools into a single, consolidated inventory.

• Deduplicates and merges data to eliminate noise and ensure each asset is accurately represented.

• Enables cross-platform visibility by linking asset-vulnerability relationships across Tenable and third-party sources.

• Surfaces business context when provided by the source tool. If the third-party platform calculates risk scores or applies business tags, Tenable ingests and displays this information alongside native data to support more informed decision-making.
