Tenable Adds New Capabilities To Its Vulnerability Management Solution

The security company has collected and analyzed 50 trillion data points on more than 240,000 vulnerabilities, it said.

Tenable recently announced it has added two new features to some of its exposure management offerings.

Vulnerability intelligence and exposure response are now available in Tenable Vulnerability Management, Tenable One, and Tenable Cloud Security.

The new features provide customers with threat landscape overview, natural language and advanced search for specific vulnerabilities by CVE number of common name, and progress tracking and reporting, among other features.

The Columbia, Maryland-based cybersecurity company has collected and analyzed 50 trillion data points on more than 240,000 vulnerabilities over the last 20 years, capturing “detailed vulnerability information and deep context,” the company said in a news release.

Cybersecurity professionals are often burned with the arduous task of digging through thousands of vulnerabilities. However, according to research from Tenable, only 3 percent of vulnerabilities result in real exposure risk.

With the new features, the company says it can help pinpoint which vulnerabilities an organization should focus on.

“Without threat context and research insights, every vulnerability is a priority, creating a high-stress, low efficiency whack-a-mole scenario for security teams,” said Tenable’s Gavin Millard, VP of product management for Vulnerability Management, in a news release. “Tenable is unleashing more than two decades of carefully curated exposure data to enable security teams to focus on the risk that matters most to their organization and communicate succinctly to stakeholders. The enriched intelligence and contextualization takes prioritization and response to a new level, providing security teams with the critical data needed to identify and reduce risk.”

Tenable was named to MES Computing's 2024 MES Midmarket 100 list, which recognizes forward-thinking vendors that target midsize customers with products and services designed to address the midmarket's unique needs.
