Product Integrations

• Panoptica: Panoptica provides the ability to ingest Tenable's CVEs as part of Vulnerabilities Management, this capability allows to provide the better context-based prioritization risk management using another Vulnerability Management Database. Once Tenable CVEs feed connected, it then accounts for if a fix/patch is available, known exploits, actionable cyber threat intelligence (CTI), and basic scoring heuristics such as the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS).
• Identity Services Engine: The Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) integrates with Tenable.sc to provide identity service access for devices and users that are constantly accessing the network. leveraging Tenable’s vulnerability findings, ISE can allow or restrict access based on predefined policies. Administrators can quickly initiate actions, such as running scans, and based on that information, make the decision to isolate the host if it does not comply with those policies set in Cisco ISE to protect against emerging threats.
• Secure Firewall: Vulnerability information collected by Tenable Security Center from it's scanning solution can be imported into the FMC's Host Map. Customers can benefit from a combination of the vulnerability data from Tenable and that which has been generated by Secure Firewall's passive discovery capability. This additional vulnerability data can enhance Impact Level scoring and help with automatic rule tuning.
