Kenna Security is the risk-based vulnerability management platform now part of Cisco as Cisco Vulnerability Management. Founded in Chicago and acquired by Cisco in 2021, the platform ingests scanner, asset, and threat-intelligence data to prioritize vulnerabilities by real-world exploitability and business risk. It exposes a REST API (the Kenna / Cisco Vulnerability Management API) at api.kennasecurity.com covering assets, asset groups, applications, findings, fixes, vulnerabilities, vulnerability intelligence, connectors, data exports, dashboards, metrics, roles, and users. The API uses an X-Risk-Token API-key header over HTTPS, page-number pagination, and JSON payloads. Kenna also publishes a first-party open-source Scripting Toolkit on GitHub for building connectors and integrations. Sector: cybersecurity / vulnerability management.
