Tenable empowers all organizations to understand their cyber exposure and to reduce the risk in the modern attack surface. More information can be found at [Tenable Vulnerability Management](https://www.tenable.com/products/vulnerability-management). **Integration Method:** API **Tables**: Device Inventory Info (5001), Vulnerability Finding (2002), Detection Finding (2004) > [!NOTE] > **Note:** > > Tenable Vulnerability Management doesn’t follow a traditional versioning system. Instead, it is a continuously updated cloud service. As for this document preparation, the latest release was in November 2024. This integration supports the following events. | **Event** | **Description** | | --- | --- | | Assets | Retrieves data for all assets. | | Vulnerabilities | Retrieves open, reopened, and fixed vulnerabilities. | ## Vulnerability status The integration pulls open, reopened, and fixed vulnerabilities. Tenable marks a vulnerability as fixed when a later scan checks for it and no longer finds it. | Tenable state | DataBee status | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | OPEN | New (`status_id` 1) | | | REOPENED | New (`status_id` 1) | `status_detail` shows REOPENED | | FIXED | Resolved (`status_id` 4) | `fixed_date` is when Tenable marked it fixed | A new feed pulls up to one year of history, including fixed vulnerabilities. After that, each pull picks up new findings and status changes. Fixed vulnerabilities also include a rescan-confirmed status and a vendor advisory ID that groups related fix records. To see only open vulnerabilities in Advanced Search, filter on `status_id = 1`. ## Prerequisites - The User should have access to the [Tenable IO](https://cloud.tenable.com/) portal with an account that has the [Basic [16] user role](https://developer.tenable.com/docs/roles) , [Scan Operator Role[24]](https://developer.tenable.com/docs/roles). - The User should have access to the DataBee console. ## Configuration Overview 1.
