Link a Tenable Web App Scanning Scanner to Sensor Proxy
Sensor Proxy supports two types of Tenable Web App Scanning scanners, those deployed from the Tenable Web App Scanning Docker image and those deployed with Tenable Core + Web App Scanning. Tenable Web App Scanning scanners linked to Sensor Proxy are only supported with Tenable Security Center.
Before you begin:
