The company is the first and only provider of solutions for a new category of cybersecurity that it is calling Cyber Exposure. Cyber Exposure is a discipline for managing and measuring cybersecurity risk in the digital era. The company is building on its deep technology expertise in the traditional vulnerability assessment and management market and expanding that market to include modern attack surfaces and provide analytics that translate vulnerability data into business insight.
Tenable’s platform provides a company’s chief information security officer (CISO) with unified visibility into the organization’s state of security and enables security teams to prioritize and focus remediation efforts. The platform also translates vulnerability data into actionable business metrics and insights that boards of directors and executives can understand and use to make strategic decisions. Management believes its Cyber Exposure solutions are transforming how security is managed and measured and will help organizations more rapidly embrace digital transformation.
