Connectors

Tenable Vulnerability Management uses connectors, including third-party data connectors, to import assets from other platforms. Tenable Vulnerability Management includes connectors for the following platforms:

• Amazon Web Service (AWS) — The Amazon Web Services (AWS) connector provides real-time visibility and inventory of EC2 instances in your AWS account. To import and analyze information about EC2 instances in AWS, you must first configure AWS to support your connector configuration, then create an AWS connector in Tenable Vulnerability Management.
• Google Cloud Platform (GCP) — The Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Connector provides real-time visibility and inventory of assets in Google Cloud Platform. The GCP connector refreshes according to a schedule set by the user. To import and analyze information about assets in Google Cloud Platform, you must configure GCP to support connectors and then create a GCP connector in Tenable Vulnerability Management.
• Microsoft Azure — The Microsoft Azure Connector provides real-time visibility and inventory of assets in Microsoft Azure accounts. To import and analyze information about assets in Microsoft Azure, you must configure Azure to support connectors and then create an Azure connector in Tenable Vulnerability Management.

Configure the Platform

To use connectors to identify your assets, you must first configure the platform the connector integrates with, then create the connector.

For more information, see the following topics in the Tenable Vulnerability Management User Guide:
