Tenable Security Center (SC) Discovery

PLATFORM

The Tenable Security Center (SC) discovery driver imports certificates from Nessus scans into Certificate Manager, Self-Hosted.

SOLUTION COMPONENTS

  • Certificate Manager, Self-Hosted
  • Tenable Security Center

VALUE HIGHLIGHTS

  • Streamlines operations** **through automated discovery
  • Increases efficiency by leveraging existing Nessus scans
  • Import newly discovered certificates** **from Nessus to Venafi
  • Utilize Security Center directly for aggregated data

Nessus is an industry standard vulnerability assessment solution for security scanning on a network. It has plugins that can create a file that contains all the certificates that it encountered while scanning a network. TLS Protect can consume that file, sent to SC from Nessus, instead of doing its own scan of the network for TLS discovery, thus reducing network traffic and server workload.

HOW-IT-WORKS

  • Install the Tenable SC discovery script
  • Define a device
  • Create a destination policy node for discovered objects
  • Create an onboard discovery job
  • Execute the job manually or scheduled

Certificate Manager, Self-Hosted is the product formerly known as Venafi Trust Protection Platform
