This document is intended for Cisco engineers, partners and customers deploying Tenable Nessus & Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) 1.3 or Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) 1.2. The reader should be familiar with Tenable Nessus and ISE.
Tenable Nessus and ISE integration provide session record information from the results of vulnerability scans and perform Adaptive Network Control (ANC) quarantine/unquarantine mitigation actions on the endpoint through the Cisco ISE RESTful Services API.
Nessus Enterprise versions 6.1.x and 6.2x Nessus Manager 6.3 and higher will integrate with ISE. No special licensing is required. Note that Nessus Manager replaces Nessus Enterprise, which is not End of Sale, and has a per-host license model. This does not have any impact on the ISE integration.
