Product Information on Tenable Cloud Security

Updated 27th November 2024

What is Tenable Cloud Security?

Tenable Cloud Security is an actionable cloud security platform that exposes and closes priority security gaps caused by misconfigurations, risky entitlements and vulnerabilities. Organizations use its intuitive UI to unify siloed tools to secure the full cloud stack, achieving end-to-end visibility, prioritization and remediation across infrastructure, workloads, identities, data and AI services. Users can access the extensive knowledgebase of Tenable Research, reducing the risk of breaches with advanced prioritization that understands resource, identity and risk relationships. Tenable uses this context to pinpoint toxic combinations of risk most likely to be exploited. Take action, even if you only have 5 minutes, with guided remediations and code snippets that significantly reduce MTTR. With one click, report on compliance with industry benchmarks and regulatory requirements, e.g. SOC 2, GDPR & HIPAA. TCS is part of Tenable’s AI-powered exposure management platform, Tenable One.

I am a beginner and have not used the tool extensively but based on my initial experience I find it helpful for basic cloud security visibility, but some features and reports take time to understand.

Tenable Cloud Security Likes & Dislikes

Like

As I mentioned before, what I like most is the centralized visibility it offers across the entire cloud infrastructure. This allows for the quick and effective identification and prioritization of vulnerabilities, making monitoring and risk management much more efficient. I can also highlight the clarity of the reports and alerts.

Automated Translation from Spanish
Like

I like the easy-to-use interface, the clear visibility of cloud assets and vulnerabilities and integration with other tenable tools that help view cloud security issues in one place.

Like

Highlight this information on your dashboard or management portal, where you can see deficiencies located in cloud environments, as well as on servers located in the company's data center. Furthermore, it's very easy to view errors in permissions or roles assigned to users in cloud environments, regardless of the cloud provider.

Automated Translation from Spanish
Dislike

I really have no complaints, but if I had to mention something, I would say that at first it can take a little time to familiarize yourself with all the dashboards and available settings; other than that, the experience has been very positive and smooth.

Automated Translation from Spanish
Dislike

The main problems are with limited and confusing reporting options, a steep learning curve for beginners, and unclear or delayed visibility of scan results and data updates.

Dislike

It might not be the easiest product to deploy from scratch, but if you already have Tenable software in on-premises environments, it's a welcome addition to Tenable's product catalog. If you're starting without any prior solution, there are other products from other vendors that may be simpler to deploy.
