Tenable
Tenable offers a portfolio covering identifying and prioritizing security weaknesses, assessing cloud exposure or protecting running workloads and understanding or protecting industrial and connected assets. The entries in this catalog include Nessus, Tenable Cloud Security, Tenable One, Tenable OT Security and Tenable Vulnerability Management. Nessus focuses on vulnerability scanning and configuration assessment. Tenable Cloud Security focuses on cloud posture and entitlement risk assessment. Tenable One focuses on exposure assessment and risk prioritization. When reviewing Tenable, compare the named products individually: a platform family, a specific module and a managed service can have different scopes and purchasing requirements. Selection should account for scan scope, credentialed assessment options, prioritization inputs and how remediation owners verify closure. Portfolio detail - Nessus: the catalog lists Plugin-based vulnerability assessment, Asset discovery, Vulnerability scanning. - Tenable Cloud Security: the catalog lists Cloud security posture management, Cloud workload protection, Cloud entitlement analysis. - Tenable One: the catalog lists Asset discovery, Vulnerability scanning, Risk-based prioritization. - Tenable OT Security: the catalog lists Operational asset discovery, Industrial threat monitoring, Operational exposure assessment. - Tenable Vulnerability Management: the catalog lists Asset discovery, Vulnerability scanning, Risk-based prioritization.

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? Tenable Vulnerability Management focuses on identifying and prioritizing security weaknesses. - What should a proof of concept establish? Test the listed capabilities against representative assets and workflows, record useful results and unresolved gaps, and confirm who handles follow-up work. - What should be confirmed before purchase? Ask the vendor which edition or service scope includes the required features, which dependencies must be configured and what licensing or contract terms apply. Pricing has not been verified for this catalog.
Tenable Cloud Security

Capabilities - Cloud security posture management: Finds cloud configuration risks so teams can prioritize corrections across connected environments. - Cloud workload protection: Focuses on protecting workloads running in the cloud rather than only inspecting account configuration. - Cloud entitlement analysis: Examines cloud permissions to identify overly broad or risky access. - Kubernetes security: Brings Kubernetes assets or configuration into the cloud security assessment workflow. - Attack path analysis: Connects multiple exposures to help explain how an attacker could reach a valuable target. - Runtime threat detection: Uses activity from running workloads to identify or respond to active threats. - Agentless assessment: Assesses the connected cloud environment using the agentless approach described by the vendor. - Cloud asset inventory: Creates visibility into assets that can be used to understand the scope of cloud exposure. Use and operational context Tenable Cloud Security is relevant to cloud and security teams working across accounts and workloads when the requirement centers on assessing cloud exposure or protecting running workloads. 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 cloud permissions required for onboarding, the assets assessed, runtime coverage and how findings reach remediation owners. 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?
