CPE credits

Tenable cannot award CPE credits toward industry certifications such as CISSP or GIAC, as CPE credits are awarded by the certification body that grants the certification (e.g., ISC2, SANS, PCI Council, etc.). Tenable provides a Certificate of Completion for this course, and in most cases this certificate is accepted by the certification body and CPE credit is awarded.
