Agent Scans

Agent scans fetch results from agent scans you add and launch in Tenable Security Center. When you add an agent scan in Tenable Security Center, Tenable Security Center creates a corresponding agent scan in an instance of Tenable Nessus Manager or Tenable Vulnerability Management that you linked to Tenable Security Center. When you launch an agent scan in Tenable Security Center, Tenable Security Center launches the corresponding scan in Tenable Nessus Manager or Tenable Vulnerability Management, then imports the results into Tenable Security Center.

You can create agent scans in Tenable Security Center using the Advanced Agent Scan template. For more information, see Scan Policy Templates.

For more information about agent scanning in Tenable Security Center, see Agent Scanning.

The Agent Scans page displays a list of all available agent scans. Tenable Security Center shares newly created agent scan import schedules to everyone within the same user group when users have the appropriate permissions.

When more than one agent scan result is ready on Tenable Vulnerability Management or Tenable Nessus Manager, the scan results queue for import to Tenable Security Center.
