Host Audits

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

On the Findings workbench, click the Host Audits tab to view your host audit findings. Host audits assess workstations, services, or network devices in order to evaluate the configuration, hardening, and security controls applied to a target. View specific host audit findings to identify issues to remediate.

The Host Audits tab contains a table with the following columns. To show or hide columns, see Customize Explore Tables.

Note: Because of inefficient host-specific details, the Host Audits tab does not include data from Cloud Infrastructure audits such as those found in the Audit Cloud Infrastructure scan template. To view this data, view the scan results for the audit.
