Tenable IO Attribute Reference

Table of Contents

Tenable IO Attribute Reference

This reference lists the attributes that Device Security collects from Tenable IO, their names as stored in Device Security, and the Device Security fields they map to.
When Device Security integrates with Tenable.io, it enhances vulnerability management for your devices. The attributes in this reference cover asset records from vulnerability exports, agent data, asset export details, scanner records, network interfaces, and individual vulnerability findings.
The third-party attribute name in Device Security refers to the attribute name as it appears in the Assets Inventory table and in Query Engine. This follows the format of third-party-name.attribute-name. When viewing the attribute name in the Assets Inventory table column selector or on a Device Details page, where the third-party name can be found as a header for the attributes section, then the third-party name is removed from the attribute name.
For example, micrsoft_defender_xdr.macAddress would appear in the Query Builder and in the Assets Inventory table, but under Device DetailsAttributesIntegration Specific AttributesMicrosoft Defender, the attribute would appear as macAddress.
