About
The Nessus report connector is Vulcan's innovative solution for integrating Nessus data, given that Tenable's API is not supported by Vulcan. This connector facilitates the uploading of Nessus format files directly into Vulcan.
Key Features
File Format: Specifically designed for .nessus files, which are exported from Tenable.sc/io/nessus.
Data Integration: Once uploaded, the data from these files is seamlessly integrated and displayed across all Vulcan views.
One-Time Use: Each Nessus file connector is configured for a single file upload. For multiple files, create an equivalent number of Nessus File connectors.
Prerequisites
Supported Format: Nessus
Maximum File Size: 300MB
