Tenable SecurityCenter

Tenable SecurityCenter™ is the centralized reporting, analysis, and visualization hub of Tenable's Unified Security Monitoring™ solution. SecurityCenter, in concert with other USM technology components, delivers comprehensive vulnerability management, SIEM, and compliance management capabilities. It uniquely enables continuous asset-based security intelligence, monitoring, visualization, reporting, and analysis within a single integrated solution.

Leveraging USM correlation and analytical capabilities, SecurityCenter collects vulnerability and configuration issues associated with the complete range of IT infrastructure — computing devices, databases, web application components, networking resources, and more — and matches them to system events, security alerts, and active threat and exploit intelligence.

With SecurityCenter, attacks and critical weaknesses are identified sooner, so problems can be avoided and impacts minimized. Detailed reporting and dashboards provide visibility into and control over essential IT operations and security processes. It eases the ability of security managers and executive to report, explain, and manage risk.

SecurityCenter centralizes and integrates information from:

• Nessus® vulnerability scanners, leveraging the world's largest vulnerability and exposure database, including botnet detection
• Tenable Passive Vulnerability Scanner™ (PVS), which monitors network traffic in real time, identifying client and server vulnerabilities, generates logs of network sessions, and creates a forensic trail of network activity
• Tenable Log Correlation Engine™ (LCE), which collects and analyzes logs from thousands of devices
• Nessus Perimeter Service™, an enterprise-class remote vulnerability PCI-approved scanning service

Using this data, SecurityCenter creates a centralized enterprise security intelligence repository with advanced analysis, reporting and alerting on a role-by-role basis.

Centralized Management of Nessus Scanners

Already using Nessus scanners? SecurityCenter can work with existing Nessus scanners to deliver network-wide insight into security events and compliance. With SecurityCenter, you gain the ability to centrally manage policies and remote scanners, while gaining visibility into enterprise-wide threats and risks. At the same time, distributed security teams can continue to rely on existing Nessus scanners, with full visibility into local issues and concerns.
