What Myrmex Can Do
Vulnerabilities & CVEs
Read findings with severity and VPR to prioritize fixes.
Asset inventory
Read scanned assets and their exposure on demand.
Posture & reporting
Factor vulnerabilities into Security Posture and reports.
Investigate with AI
Let Hydra query Tenable to explain and rank risk.
Before You Start
- A Tenable Vulnerability Management account with a role that can read assets and vulnerabilities.
- A Collector that can reach
cloud.tenable.comover outbound HTTPS.
Step 1 — Create the Credential in Tenable Vulnerability Management
1
Open your API keys
Sign in to Tenable Vulnerability Management and go to your profile: My Account → API Keys.
2
Generate keys
Click Generate to create a new key pair. This produces an access key and a secret key.
3
Copy both
Copy both keys now — they’re shown only once. The keys inherit your user’s permissions.
Tenable authenticates with both keys, sent together in the
X-ApiKeys header as accessKey=<...>;secretKey=<...>. Enter them as prompted in Myrmex.
