Prioritize and route findings for smooth remediation

When Tenable identifies risks, guided remediation kicks in. The solution prioritizes actionable findings and assigns them to the appropriate teams. Tenable detects and flags security gaps and misconfigurations, identifies the root cause, and offers steps and policy recommendations for remediation. You then just click “Proceed.”

Accelerate remediation with pre–populated optimized policies

Reduce your attack surface with pre-populated policies that precisely resolve risk and non-compliance, and drive least privilege access across your organization. Get policies directly fed into service tickets or automatically generated IaC snippets. Where possible, Tenable also provides the appropriate code — such as JSON, Terraform and CloudFormation — to apply changes when console access is limited.
