Exports

The Exports feature in Tenable Vulnerability Management allows you to extract raw security and asset data for use in external tools, offline analysis, or third-party integrations. You can export a wide range of granular data from across Tenable Vulnerability Management, including active findings, detailed asset metadata, recast/accept rules, remediation goals, and sensor data.

For flexibility, Tenable Vulnerability Management allows you to export your data immediately for time-sensitive analysis or schedule recurring exports to automate the delivery of structured data files (CSV or JSON) to your team at regular intervals. This ensures that your external ecosystems—such as a SIEM (Splunk, QRadar), an ITSM/Ticketing system (ServiceNow, Jira), or Business Intelligence tools (PowerBI, Tableau)—stay synchronized with your latest exposure data.

Note: Exports and Reports serve distinct purposes. Use Exports when you need raw data to manipulate, filter, or import into another system. Use Reports when you need a formatted, human-readable summary (such as a PDF) to share with stakeholders or provide as evidence for a compliance audit. See Reports.
