NetBox continues to establish itself as the definitive source of truth for network infrastructure, and as our community expands, so does the demand for integrations with essential security and compliance platforms. Today, we’re excited to announce the Private Preview of our newest integration: a direct connection between NetBox and Tenable’s vulnerability management solutions.
Bridging the Network and Security Divide
Tenable’s industry-leading vulnerability management platforms play a critical role in maintaining security posture across modern enterprises. Organizations have frequently requested better ways to unite their vulnerability scanning data with their network infrastructure documentation in NetBox. This integration delivers on that need, enabling teams to keep asset inventory and vulnerability insights synchronized between NetBox and Tenable, eliminating siloed data and ensuring alignment across systems.
For many network and security teams, NetBox serves as the authoritative repository for infrastructure documentation (IP address management, device inventory), while Tenable provides vulnerability assessment and security insights for those same assets. Without a direct connection between these platforms, teams must manually correlate information—leading to incomplete visibility, potential security blind spots, and operational inefficiencies.
Enhancing Asset Visibility and Security Context
The NetBox Tenable integration offers significant operational benefits:
- Comprehensive Asset Inventory: Automatically synchronize discovered assets from Tenable into NetBox, ensuring your network documentation includes all devices that Tenable is aware of, alongside those imported by NetBox Discovery, our partner discovery solutions, and manually entered inventory
- Enhanced Security Context: Access high-level vulnerability data directly within NetBox, allowing network teams to understand security posture while working with infrastructure documentation
- Improved Cross-team Collaboration: Create a unified view that bridges the gap between security and network teams, reducing friction when addressing vulnerabilities
- Reduced Data Entry Duplication: Eliminate the need to manually update multiple systems with the same asset information
What’s Next? Join the Private Preview
The NetBox Tenable integration has been evolving through the NetBox Labs Experimental stage, with valuable feedback from interested parties shaping its initial scope. Now, as we enter Private Preview, we’re inviting more users to help us refine the integration and extend its use cases ahead of Customer Preview and General Availability later in 2025.
If you use NetBox alongside Tenable products (Tenable.io, Tenable.sc, or Nessus) and want to influence the future of this integration, we’d love for you to join the Private Preview. Please fill out the form below with your name, company, role, and a brief description of how tighter integration between NetBox and Tenable could improve your operations. We’ll prioritize applicants based on use cases.
We look forward to working together to create a more unified approach to network infrastructure management and security, with NetBox at the center.
