Modern vulnerability management: The foundation of exposure management
Transform the efficiency and effectiveness of your VM program by aligning it with exposure management. Combine your vulnerability data with business, technical, and threat intelligence context from other security domains to improve prioritization, drive measurable risk reduction, and ease C-level reporting.
Why vulnerability management matters in the era of exposure
Traditional vulnerability management is evolving. In a world of hyper-connected assets — from cloud and containers to OT, identity, and AI — simply finding vulnerabilities isn't enough.
Vulnerability management is a key pillar of exposure management. While vulnerability assessment identifies the "what," exposure management provides the "so what." By unifying vulnerability data with other security data, you move from reactive firefighting to proactive risk reduction.

Gain visibility across the modern attack surface (IT, cloud, OT, IoT, AI).
Predict
what matters
Use machine learning to identify vulnerabilities likely to be exploited.
Act with
confidence
Prioritize remediation based on actual business risk, not just CVSS scores.
Proactively respond to vulnerabilities with contextualized threat data
Go beyond traditional vulnerability management practices to align your cyber and business risk for more strategic, business-impacting decision-making.
Gain visibility across your modern attack surface
Eliminate blind spots by automatically identifying every asset in your environment — from traditional IT and on-premises servers to cloud instances, containers, OT/IoT devices, and AI tools. Leveraging the industry's most widely deployed vulnerability assessment technology with Nessus and lightweight agents, Tenable ensures you have a complete, real-time inventory of what needs protection.

Assess vulnerabilities with unmatched coverage
Scan for over 110,000 vulnerabilities with the highest accuracy in the industry. By utilizing the power of Nessus, you can perform deep-packet inspection and authenticated configuration audits to find the flaws that other scanners miss.
Need a dedicated tool for point-in-time assessment? See why Nessus is the gold standard.
Prioritize critical exposures based on business risk
Understand the full context of each vulnerability, including the criticality of the assets they affect and the likelihood of exploitation. Expose and focus remediation teams on the 1.6% of vulnerabilities that pose the greatest risk to your organization to maximize risk reduction and strengthen your cybersecurity posture.
