Tenable Research Alliance program

Tenable Research Alliance program is an intelligence sharing initiative among leading technology organizations. With new vulnerabilities being discovered daily, research collaboration gives security teams and system administrators the power to assess and tackle flaws more efficiently, and potentially prior to public disclosure.

We know threat actors are monitoring disclosure programs in the same way we are, looking for newly announced vulnerabilities, studying all available information such as proof of concepts, but they’re looking to utilize the flaw. By giving our customers the tools to address these weaknesses when they’re publicly announced, we reduce that intelligence gap and hand the advantage back to the good guys.

Building a strong research alliance program

Program objective

Tenable Research Alliance program is an intelligence sharing initiative among leading technology organizations that aims to reduce the window of opportunity threat actors have to exploit newly-disclosed vulnerabilities.

Benefit to customers

Joint customers are empowered to mitigate exploits before threat actors can take advantage of published vulnerabilities and discover fewer false positives when technology companies collaborate to release plugins in accordance with security advisories.

Benefit to partners

Members will gain streamlined and early access to vulnerability data, and the opportunity to collaborate with Tenable Research so that members can release security advisories and discovery plugins more efficiently.
