It is vulnerability and exposure management technology used for identifying and prioritizing security weaknesses. Capabilities - Asset discovery: Establishes visibility into the systems that are included in the vulnerability assessment scope. - Vulnerability scanning: Finds potential weaknesses that can be reviewed and prioritized for remediation. - Risk-based prioritization: Uses the available risk context to help order remediation work. - Remediation tracking: Helps teams move from identified exposures to assigned correction work. - Attack path visibility: Shows relationships between exposures that may create a route to a valuable asset. - Exposure reporting: Provides views for communicating the assessed exposure and progress of remediation work. - Cloud exposure assessment: Brings the connected cloud environments into the documented exposure assessment scope. Use and operational context Tenable Vulnerability Management is relevant to teams planning vulnerability remediation across assets when the requirement centers on identifying and prioritizing security weaknesses. Scope the evaluation around the functions listed above and the assets or workflows that need coverage. A useful trial should use representative business conditions so the team can assess the quality of the results and the effort needed to act on them. Deployment and evaluation Before adoption, review scan scope, credentialed assessment options, prioritization inputs and how remediation owners verify closure. Assign an owner for administration, document required permissions and identify how the product or service will fit the existing operating process. Buyer questions - What is the main purpose?
