Vulnerability Management: Decommissioning of Legacy Domain for Mainland China

Tenable has deployed a new Tenable Vulnerability Management host URL - https://sensor.cloud.tenablecloud.cn - along with the Cloudflare China Network, which provides Tenable with better visibility for troubleshooting and monitoring purposes. The legacy host URL for sensors in mainland China - http://sensor.cloud.tenable-cn.com - will be deprecated on January 31, 2024.

If you are connecting to Tenable Vulnerability Management through sensors located in mainland China, you must connect through https://sensor.cloud.tenablecloud.cn instead of http://sensor.cloud.tenable-cn.com or https://sensor.cloud.tenable.com.
