Tenable Nessus is one of the world's most popular vulnerability scanners. Cyver Core natively offers imports for Nessus CSV and XML files. This includes importing found vulnerabilities and configuration issues across assets, servers, network devices, virtual machines, and endpoints.
You can manually import Nessus CSV findings or automatically import them via the API.
