Cloud Sensors

By default, Tenable provides regional cloud sensors for use in Tenable Vulnerability Management. You can select these sensors when you create and launch scans.

The following table identifies each regional cloud sensor and, for allow list purposes, its IP address ranges. These IP address ranges are exclusive to Tenable.

Note: If you use cloud connectors, Tenable recommends allowlisting the IP addresses for the region in which the site resides.

Note: While these IP addresses are for outbound requests, only the tenable.io sensor group IP addresses are used for inbound cloud.tenable.com requests.

Tip: The cloud sensor and IP address information contained in the table below is also provided in JSON format for users that want to parse the data programmatically.

For Cloud IPs associated with Tenable Attack Surface Management, see Cloud Sensors in the Tenable Attack Surface Management User Guide.

Note: For troubleshooting Tenable Web App Scanning issues with Tenable Support, you may be asked to add the following IP range to your allow list:
  • 13.59.250.76/32
