Cisco Meraki Integration
Summary
Tenable is proud to announce our new integration with Cisco Meraki Dashboard. Cisco Meraki Dashboard is a centralized cloud-based platform used to manage and monitor Cisco Meraki devices. It provides a web-based interface for configuring, troubleshooting, and securing global network and IoT deployments. Tenable’s integration with the Cisco Meraki Dashboard API allows users to leverage our vulnerability management solutions against devices that are managed in their Meraki environment including security appliances, switches, routers, and other supported devices.
Scope
Customers using Tenable Vulnerability Management and Nessus Manager will be able to configure up to a maximum of five Cisco Meraki credentials in a single scan policy. The Cisco Meraki credential can be found under the "Miscellaneous" category of credentials. Detailed information about the integration and configurations can be found by visiting our integration documentation page in the link for Cisco Meraki. https://docs.tenable.com/Integrations.htm
Plugins
Plugins related to the integration can be divided into two categories; integration and supporting plugins. The integration plugins gather the credential settings, collect data from the Cisco Meraki API, and store this data for usage by the supporting plugins. Whereas supporting plugins detect the presence of Cisco Meraki devices and perform vulnerability detections against the device attributes; mainly primarily firmware.
Integration Plugins
Supporting Plugins
- Cisco Meraki Detection
- Tenable Research will also release 6 initial plugins to detect Cisco Meraki versions vulnerable to several different high-impact CVEs. Please note that these plugins will require a paranoia level of 2 (“Show potential false alarms”).
Impact
The Nessus Scan Information plugin (plugin ID 19506) will report credentialed checks for Cisco Meraki devices through the use of the Cisco Meraki integration. Customers will see credentialed checks ‘no’ if a Cisco Meraki Device was detected while using the integration and the firmware version that we collected for the device is not configured or absent. Otherwise, customers can expect to see ‘yes, via HTTPS’ if successful.
Release Date
Tenable Vulnerability Management and Nessus Manager: July 3rd, 2025
