This guide walks you through creating a Tenable Vulnerability Management integration.

Configure New API Keys for Integration

1. Log in to Tenable Vulnerability Management as an Administrator

Once logged in, click the Settings gear in the top right corner and go to Access Control.

  • Here, you can either use the logged-in user account or
  • Create a service user account (with an email not tied to an employee), which we recommend for production environments.
  • Assign the new account the minimal role of Basic User.
  • Log out of the current user, and then log in using the newly created account.

2. Create API Keys for Service Integration

Click on the profile avatar for the logged-in user and navigate to the user's My Profile.

  • In the left-side navigation, select API KEYS.
  • In the bottom-right, click the Generate button. A warning in the top-right will appear, stating that this operation will overwrite any previously generated keys. Click Continue.
  • You will be provided with two keys: access key and secret key. Copy and store these in a secure vault for later use.

Configure the Integration

Create your integration by supplying all configuration values.

Secret:
accessKey=access-key;secretKey=secret-key (copy the keys from Step 2 above)
