Tenable.io Container Security Permissions Update

Tenable has updated the permissions required for a number of Tenable.io Container Security API endpoints (both v1 and v2). The affected endpoints are listed in the tables below.

Installed Software for Tenable.io API

If configured to use Nessus Plugin ID 45590, Tenable.io scans identify software applications installed on an asset, and log that information to a new attribute in the asset record. This attribute, installed_software, contains a list of Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) values in the CPE 2.2 format. For more information, see the "Component Syntax" section of the CPE Specification, Version 2.2.

Network Management for Tenable.io API

In larger enterprises, you can reduce the time and cost of setting up and maintaining locations by deploying network templates that use identical asset configurations, including internal IP addresses. Tenable.io allows you to create a custom network object for each network template you want to deploy. You can then manage scans for all locations centrally, while analyzing the related assets and vulnerabilities both collectively and by individual location.
