Role Availability Read-Only Investigator Analyst Manager

To configure the AlienApp for Tenable.io in USM Anywhere, you need to have the Tenable host URL, access key, and secret key.

Before USM Anywhere can collect information from Tenable.io, you must first connect the AlienApp with the Tenable.io API.

To acquire API keys from Tenable.io

  1. Log in to Tenable.io Login Page using a valid user account.
    This account must be a member of the Administrators role in Tenable.io.
  2. Generate the API keys according to the Generate API Keys.
  3. Copy the access key and secret key to your clipboard or a secure location. You will need to enter them in USM Anywhere to configure the AlienApp.

Configure AlienApp for Tenable.io in USM Anywhere

To enable the AlienApp for Tenable.io

  1. In USM Anywhere, go to Data Sources > AlienApps.
  2. Click the Available Apps tab.

    AlienApps operate through a deployed sensor and use APIs to integrate with the connected third-party technology. Select the sensor that can access the integration endpoint. The HTTPS connections to the API will originate from this sensor, so it is important to make sure the sensor has network access to the AlienApp API endpoints.

  6. Enter the host URL, access key, and key secret.

  7. Click Save.
