Cloud Resources

Required Tenable Vulnerability Management User Role: Basic, Scan Operator, Standard, Scan Manager, or Administrator

On the Assets workbench, to view only your cloud resources, select the Cloud Resources tile and deselect other tiles. A cloud resource can be any compute instance, storage object, networking device, or object you can create or configure within a cloud platform. Examples of cloud resources include assets such as virtual servers, buckets, databases, disks, and containers. Other examples of cloud resources are configurable items such as resource groups, policies, users, and roles.
