Our take
Tenable is a cybersecurity company delivering a comprehensive suite of products for cloud security, vulnerability management, identity exposure and more. It provides these through its exposure management platform, "Tenable One", which is designed to anticipate attacks and reduce cyber risk.
As cyber-attacks get more sophisticated, businesses need a range of tools to proactively combat threats. By providing all these tools in one place, Tenable solidifies itself as a strong option in the market. This is reflected in it winning a number of industry recognitions.
One of the company's latest moves was to acquire Eureka Security, which has enabled it to add data security posture management to its offering. If it continues to broaden its platform and meet the changing cybersecurity needs of its clients, then Tenable should remain on the path to success.
