Integrating Invicti Standard with Kenna

This document is for:
Invicti Standard

Kenna is an issue tracking system that calculates which vulnerabilities present the highest risk and de-prioritizes those that don't, then notifies the right people of the top vulnerabilities to achieve the greatest possible risk reduction.

This document explains how to configure Invicti Standard to send a detected vulnerability to Kenna for enhanced vulnerability management and risk assessment.
