Generate an Attack Path with a Built-in Query

You can use Tenable-provided built-in queries to generate an attack path from one asset to another.

Tip: To generate your own custom query, see Generate an Attack Path Query with the Attack Path Query Builder.

To generate a built-in query:

1. In Attack Path Analysis, access the Discover tab.

2. In the Query Library section, click the tile that contains the search query you want to use. For more information, see Query Types in the Attack Path Query Library.

3. Click Search for attack paths.

   Attack Path Analysis returns any attack paths that match the query you selected and the Query Builder appears. For more information on interacting with the data, see Interact With Attack Path Data.

   Note: If there are no matching attack paths, Attack Path Analysis does not return any results for the query.

4. (Optional) Use the Query Builder to edit the built-in query you selected. For more information, see Generate an Attack Path Query with the Attack Path Query Builder.

   Note: If you edit a built-in query, your changes do not affect the query within the query library. Instead, you can save the new query as a preset, which appears in the Bookmarks tile in the Query Library.

What to do next:

Interact with the attack path data provided by the query.
