Cloud connectors act as the bridge to cloud platforms, pulling asset data from supported clouds into Tenable Vulnerability Management. This keeps an up-to-date inventory of cloud resources—like instances, IPs, and tags—so vulnerability management can accurately map findings to the right assets and prioritize remediation. They enable proper risk scoring and reporting by tying vulnerabilities to the actual cloud assets you use. They don’t enhance the UI, increase storage, or directly fix vulnerabilities in cloud platforms.
