Critical Vulnerabilities Addressed Faster with Tenable Security Center’s Targeted Approach

Tenable®, a prominent leader in exposure management, has unveiled new features for its Tenable Security Center, the world’s leading on-premises vulnerability management solution. These enhancements introduce advanced capabilities in vulnerability intelligence, risk prioritization, and web application scanning, addressing the evolving security needs of organizations managing on-premises environments. The updates are designed to deliver a more comprehensive and streamlined approach to vulnerability management, equipping security teams with the tools they need to proactively address critical risks.

Tenable Security Center provides an integrated platform for identifying, investigating, and prioritizing vulnerabilities. With the addition of Tenable Vulnerability Intelligence, organizations can now access a curated database of contextualized vulnerability data. This resource enables teams to better understand their security posture, exposing and addressing critical vulnerabilities with greater precision. The curated database enhances visibility and provides essential threat context, helping organizations efficiently mitigate risks. By incorporating these advancements, Tenable continues its commitment to simplifying processes and empowering organizations to stay ahead of evolving threats.

Shai Morag, Chief Product Officer at Tenable, emphasized the importance of these updates, highlighting the limitations of traditional on-premises vulnerability management tools. He noted that such tools often fail to provide adequate visibility, leaving organizations vulnerable to unseen threats. Tenable’s approach addresses these challenges by supporting the management of on-premises data while offering advanced tools to expand visibility, assess exposures, and prioritize risks effectively. As a trusted partner for cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments, Tenable aims to deliver scalable solutions that elevate vulnerability management programs and improve organizational resilience.

The Threat Landscape Overview feature introduces a proactive method of identifying and addressing vulnerabilities by offering curated threat categories. These categories include vulnerabilities currently being exploited, those linked to ransomware campaigns, and those prominently featured in security news. This approach provides a comprehensive view of vulnerabilities, detailing associated threats and impacted assets to streamline prioritization and remediation efforts.

The platform’s enhanced search capabilities include a Natural Language and Advanced Search feature, enabling security teams to locate vulnerabilities by their CVE numbers or common names. This is complemented by advanced query-building tools that combine multiple criteria, such as CVSS metrics, Tenable Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR) factors, and metadata from Tenable Research. These capabilities allow users to distill complex vulnerability data into actionable insights, improving decision-making and response times.

Web application scanning has also been significantly enhanced to support larger environments. Organizations can now manage thousands of web applications and fully qualified domain names (FQDN) from a single Security Center console. This improvement reduces hardware requirements, simplifies operational complexity, and accelerates scanning processes, making it easier for teams to secure extensive web infrastructures.

The inclusion of support for the latest CVSSv4 and Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS) models enhances the platform’s risk prioritization capabilities. Alongside Tenable’s VPR, these models provide organizations with a more accurate assessment of vulnerabilities, allowing resources to be allocated more effectively. By focusing on vulnerabilities that pose the highest real-world risks, organizations can significantly improve their security posture.

Tenable Security Center remains a flexible and robust solution for vulnerability management, catering to the needs of organizations with both on-premises and hybrid deployment requirements. Its scalability and advanced features make it ideal for addressing even the most complex security challenges, reinforcing its position as the leading choice for vulnerability management worldwide. These latest advancements reflect Tenable’s commitment to empowering organizations with cutting-edge tools and insights. By enabling proactive risk management and delivering comprehensive vulnerability intelligence, Tenable continues to support its customers in strengthening their defenses and navigating the ever-changing threat landscape with confidence.
