Vulnerability Intelligence

Note: If you have more than 100,000 assets or a non-rpm installation, you must connect an external PostgreSQL server to use Vulnerability Intelligence.

Note: Vulnerability Intelligence does not support connecting to multiple databases. If you upgrade to Tenable Security Center 6.5.x from 6.4.x or earlier and your deployment includes multiple databases, the Vulnerability Intelligence section will not appear.

In the Vulnerability Intelligence section, you can review all vulnerabilities known to Tenable without leaving Tenable Security Center.

The vulnerabilities come from Tenable’s database, which draws on sources such as internal expertise, vendor advisories, the GitHub Advisory Database, and the National Vulnerability Database (NVD).

The Vulnerability Intelligence section also holds curated categories that blend known risk indicators with insights from the Tenable Research Team to surface the most crucial vulnerabilities.

Once you have chosen which vulnerabilities to focus on, you compare them to your own findings and build a list to take action on. To do this, use the query builder to refine the results and save your searches to re-use or share.

The following topics explain how to use the tools in the Vulnerability Intelligence section to: 1) search Tenable’s vulnerability database, 2) view vulnerability profiles, and 3) identify your exposure when compared to known vulnerabilities.
