Integrating SailPoint with Tenable.io

Tenable.io is a cloud-based vulnerability management platform that helps organizations identify, assess, and remediate security risks across their infrastructure. By integrating Tenable.io with SailPoint, organizations can govern user access to the Tenable.io platform, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access vulnerability management capabilities and that role assignments are visible for compliance and access reviews. This document provides instructions to configure a new direct connection to a Tenable.io source. For a reference to the terminology specific to SailPoint products, refer to Source and Connector Definitions.
