The integration of Tenable Security Center (formerly Tenable.sc) aims to bridge the gap between the detection of vulnerabilities and the deployment of patches. With this integration, IT admins can effortlessly deploy patches from the Endpoint Central console for the vulnerabilities detected by Tenable Security Center (formerly Tenable.sc). No more multiple dashboards, no more manual correlations between vulnerabilities and the relevant patches — the Tenable Security Center (formerly Tenable.sc) integration does all the work for you!

## Steps to integrate Tenable Security Center (formerly Tenable.sc) with Endpoint Central

### Generate API keys in Tenable Security Center (formerly Tenable.sc)
