Importing with Generic Integration Layer

The Generic Vulnerability Integration Layer is an alternative method for importing vulnerabilities, in addition to the Tenable VM integration workflow.

Using AI enhanced schema mapping

You can use the Map with AI option to automatically generate field mappings from your import file.

To add a mapping with AI:

1. In Vulnerabilities > Vulnerability settings, select Add mapping.

2. Select Map with AI.

3. Upload your sample file by dragging it into the upload area or selecting it from your system.

4. Select Start AI mapping. AI suggested field mappings are applied and highlighted with a colored border.

5. Verify the Mapping details (required):

   1. Mapping name for this mapping configuration.

   2. Software source for the assets.

   3. File includes indicates whether it contains only Assets, only Vulnerabilities, or both Assets and Vulnerabilities.

   4. File type specifies the format of the uploaded file. Supported formats are CSV and JSON.

   Note

   If the mapping file contains only Assets, only Discrete Asset fields are populated. If it contains only Vulnerabilities, only Vulnerability/ Finding fields are populated. It populates all fields when the file includes both Assets and Vulnerabilities.

6. Review and edit the AI suggestions and select Add to accept; a confirmation alert will appear when the suggestion is applied. Complete all remaining required fields.

The new mapping is added, and you are redirected to the Mapping list page.

Adding mapping manually

1. In Asset Manager, go to Vulnerabilities > Vulnerability settings.

2. Select Add mapping.

3. Enter Mapping details.

   1. Mapping name for this mapping configuration.

   2. Software source for the assets.

   3. File includes indicates whether it contains only Assets, only Vulnerabilities, or both Assets and Vulnerabilities. The Discrete Asset fields and Vulnerability/Finding fields are populated if you select Assets and Vulnerabilities.

   4. File type specifies the format of the uploaded file. Supported formats are CSV and JSON.

4. Manually enter values for each field based on your mapping requirements.

5. Select Add mapping to save.
   The new mapping is added, and you are redirected to the Mapping list page.

Update a mapping

1. From the mapping list, open the menu next to a mapping and select Edit.

2. Update the mapping details in the edit screen.

3. Select Save changes.

   The mapping is updated with your changes.

Delete a mapping

1. From the mapping list, open the menu next to a mapping and select Delete.

2. Confirm the delete action in the confirmation dialog.

Importing manually

1. Go to Vulnerabilities > Import Vulnerabilities.

2. Select Manual Import.

3. Select the desired mapping(s) from the Generic schema mappings list by selecting the checkbox.

   You can select multiple mappings from the list.

4. Select Upload Files.

5. Browse and select file(s) to upload or drag-and-drop the relevant files.

6. Select Create Import Job to start the upload and scanning process.

   Note

   The scan may take some time. You can navigate back to the grid and resume the upload later using the Resume Upload Job button from the more options menu for the relevant mapping(s).

7. Once the scan is complete and the files are verified as clean, click Start Import.

8. The import will begin for the selected mapping, and you will be redirected to the grid UI.

Imported data will include discrete assets, findings, and CVE relationships based on the mapping schema and uploaded files.
