Protecting Your Digital Assets Across All Environments
Cyber threats don’t discriminate between cloud, OT, or identity systems—your defenses shouldn’t either. A holistic approach ensures no weak links exist in your infrastructure. Below, we break down critical protection layers.
Cloud Exposure: Actionable Security Platform
Misconfigured cloud assets are prime targets. Tenable’s cloud security posture management (CSPM) automates risk detection across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Automated workflows cut remediation time by 68%, letting teams focus on strategic fixes.
Vulnerability Exposure: Industry-Leading Management
For six straight years, IDC ranked Tenable #1 in device vulnerability management. Its platform prioritizes risks by business impact, not just severity scores. Real-time scans cover IT, cloud, and legacy systems.
OT Exposure: Unified IT/OT/IoT Security
Industrial systems need specialized protection. Tenable converges IT and OT security, safeguarding power grids and factories. The City of Raleigh used it to monitor 10,000+ OT assets, slashing incident response times.
Identity Exposure: Active Directory and Entra ID Protection
Compromised credentials cause 80% of breaches. Tenable detects active directory threats 94% faster than manual audits. It maps privilege escalations before attackers exploit them.
| Environment | Key Feature | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud | Automated CSPM | 68% faster remediation |
| Vulnerabilities | IDC #1 Ranking | 6-year leadership |
| OT/IoT | Unified monitoring | 10,000+ assets secured |
| Identity | AD threat detection | 94% faster alerts |
From cloud workloads to factory floors, Tenable delivers consistent protection. The result? A resilient infrastructure that adapts to evolving threats.
