The lower part of the Asset Details page is divided into tabs. Not all information appears for all asset types.

Details

The Details tab breaks down information about an asset such as its license status and when it last appeared on a scan.

Panel

Description

Asset

Information about the asset, including the following attributes:

  • Licensed — Indicates if the asset counts towards your Tenable license count, as described in Tenable Vulnerability Management Licenses.

  • System Type — The device type, as reported by Plugin 54615.

  • Operating Systems — The operating system installed on the asset.

  • Network — The name of the network object associated with scanners that identified the asset. The default network name is Default. To learn more, see Networks.

  • Public — Specifies if the asset is available on a public network. A public asset is within the public IP space and identified by the is_public attribute in the query namespace.

  • BIOS ID — The asset's unique BIOS ID.

  • IPv4 Address — The IPv4 address for the asset.

  • IPv6 Address — The IPv6 address for the asset.

  • DNS (FQDN) — The fully qualified domain name for the asset.

  • MAC Addresses — The MAC addresses for the asset.

  • Tenable ID — A UUID created for new assets during credentialed scans or agent scans. If an asset is found not to be unique, this UUID is not created and an existing one is reused.

  • ACR Key Drivers — Main drivers of the Asset Criticality Rating, as described in Tenable Lumin Metrics.

  • Device Class — The main class of the asset, for example Compute and Application Server.

  • Device Subclass — The subclass of the asset, for example Web Application Server.

Remote Authenticated Scan Information

Information about the scan, including:

  • Last Authentication Attempt Time — The last time that Tenable Nessus attempted to sign in, either with SSH on Unix-based systems or SMB on Windows.

  • Last Authenticated Status — Indicates if the last authentication attempt by Tenable Nessus was successful.

  • Last Authenticated Successful —The last time that Tenable Nessus authenticated successfully.

Last Seen

Information about the asset's scan history, including:

  • Scan Name — The name given to the last scan that detected the asset.

  • Last Scan ID — The identifier of the last scan that detected the asset.

  • Last Seen — The date and time of the scan that most recently identified the asset.

  • Last Licensed Scan — The date and time of the last scan in which the asset was considered "licensed" and counted towards Tenable's license limit. A licensed scan uses non-discovery plugins and can identify vulnerabilities. Unauthenticated scans that run non-discovery plugins update the Last Licensed Scan field, but not the Last Authenticated Scan field. For more information on how licenses work, see Tenable Vulnerability Management Licenses.

  • First Seen — The time and date when a scan first identified the asset.

  • Last Scan Target — The IP address or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the asset targeted in the last scan.

Tags A panel containing tags assigned to the asset. Click to add a new tag or click on a single tag to remove it.
CPE A log of the Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) strings for the asset, identifying its software, hardware, or firmware using a standardized naming convention. This information is drawn from the National Vulnerability Database and Tenable's own plugins.

Findings

In the Findings tab, you can view all findings associated with the asset, with Fixed, Accepted, and Info vulnerabilities hidden by default. In the dropdown, switch between Vulnerability and Host Audit findings.
