Tenable

Tenable, the vulnerability management company based in Columbia, Md., unveiled at Black Hat 2022 additions to its Tenable Cloud Security. Paired with its Tenable Cloud Security Live, Tenable Cloud Security Agentless Assessment is designed to help organizations remediate vulnerabilities faster and prevent zero-day bugs from being exploited.

The company said the new addition unifies Tenable’s cloud security posture and vulnerability management tools into a single, agentless solution.

“Tenable Agentless Assessment represents a monumental step forward in cloud vulnerability scanning technology,” said Glen Pendley, CTO of Tenable, in a statement.

“As the period from vulnerability disclosure to exploitation shrinks, cybersecurity teams have even less time to respond. Tenable Cloud Security is an Easy Button that takes the time-consuming manual labor out of the equation, proactively detecting and assessing vulnerabilities in near real time.”

Tenable has been on an acquisition spree of late, buying Bit Discovery earlier this year, Accurics in September 2021 and Alsid in February 2021.
