Automated updates in Tenable Core are coordinated by Update Management. This component centralizes the process of obtaining and applying content updates, patches, and other vulnerability feeds according to the policies you configure—such as update channels, schedules, and maintenance windows. Because updates are applied as configured, you can automate routine updates while maintaining control over when and how they occur, reducing manual steps and ensuring consistency across the deployment. The mechanism is not about reinstalling the system or requesting updates from support, and updates aren’t applied without any configured guidance. In Tenable Core, Update Management governs the lifecycle of updates, applying them automatically based on the defined configuration.

Content auditing in Tenable Vulnerability Management works by analyzing the actual text contained in files to detect sensitive data or policy violations. Formats that store readable, searchable text—such as Microsoft Office documents, PDFs, and plain text files—can be parsed to extract that text for the audit engine to analyze. Video, audio, and image files are binary media and don’t reliably expose searchable text, so they aren’t supported for this feature. This is why text-like files are the ones that can be audited for content.

Learning how to use software features through concise instructional videos is what the Tenable Product Education YouTube channel is designed for. The content is typically short how-to videos that cover specific features across all Tenable products, providing step-by-step guidance, demonstrations, and practical tips. This makes it the best fit for users who want actionable, hands-on instruction on configuring and using product features. Interviews with cybersecurity professionals, full-length feature films on cybersecurity, and daily news on global threats don’t align with the channel’s purpose, which is to educate users through targeted, shareable demonstrations of product capabilities.

Agent grouping helps organize agents for scans, and the ability to choose an agent group is part of configuring an agent-based scan. This choice is available to any user who has permission to edit scans, so it isn’t restricted to a specific admin role. In practice, that means all users with access to configure scans can select the agent group, making the grouping option broadly usable across teams. New groups show up in the list for users with scan-access, and they aren’t hidden by default. So selecting the agent group is a capability available to all users who can configure scans.
