Find your vulnerabilities before attackers do
Automate comprehensive, contextual vulnerability assessments for all your assets — on-prem and in the cloud — to close the exposures that put your organization at risk.

Almost 60% of cybersecurity professionals say their organization doesn't have a set vulnerability scanning schedule and many don't scan for publicly disclosed vulnerabilities at all.
Know, expose and close vulnerabilities
Get complete visibility across your attack surface to proactively address vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and other security issues — before attackers exploit them.
Discover
You cannot protect what you don’t know is there. The first step of vulnerability assessment is a complete inventory of your environment whether it is in one location or multiple. With increasingly complex environments and diverse sets of asset classes this can be challenging.
Tenable provides you with vulnerability assessment capabilities you need to gain comprehensive visibility with deep insights across your entire environment. Nessus offers coverage for more than 47,000 unique assets, including IT, IoT and OT devices, operating systems, a wide range of applications and more. Nessus portability empowers you to run assessments whether you are in headquarters, on another floor or building, or are on another continent.

Assess
Nessus quickly and efficiently identifies vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and weaknesses in your network and vectors for potential threats. This is the first step in staying ahead of an attack. Nessus gets you started quickly with out-of-the box, pre-configured templates, and target scanning efforts based on your environment’s unique composition. Each time new plugins are added, Nessus performs a “live update” to scan for the most recently added information.
Comply
Be proactive in demonstrating compliance with company and industry regulations and standards. Nessus can audit configuration compliance against more than 120 Center for Internet Security (CIS) benchmarks and an additional 450 compliance and configuration templates. Go beyond vulnerabilities for a broader understanding of risk.
Analyze
Executive dashboards provide an overview across your organization. Sophisticated filtering and groupings empower you to quickly drill down and analyze the results to get to the specifics of a vulnerability and what is potentially impacted. This accelerates the time to detection, analysis and remediation.
