Overview

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.

Tenable Cloud Security Likes & Dislikes

Like

Visibility and context that Tenable CNAPP provides across our cloud environment is outstanding. It helps us (very small security team) quickly identify risks, misconfigurations, and compliance gaps in a single unified view. The integrations with cloud infrastructure accounts and other 3rd party services like Slack and Jira are seamless as well, and the dashboards make it easy to prioritize what matters most. My favorite is the VPR rating that can be used instead of CVSSv3 and other scoring methodologies. The VPR rating takes into account ACTUAL exploitability, attack vector, asset exposure, and other contextual information, including customizable labels and parameters, which will increase or decrease the risk/severity level appropriately. This makes risk and vulnerability prioritization much easier and much more accurate. Other favorites include the Terraform-based IaC scanning and remediation guidance, as well as the if you had 5 minutes dashboard tile that surfaces the biggest and most exploitable risks to prioritize first.

Like

the products output is highly customisable and able to fit our needs

Like

The user experience is very intuitive in parts, and their help has a lot of help if you're attempting to accomplish something in a normal path of behavior in the application. However, if you need something more advance, their team is available for assistance in attempting to accomplish it. The product is fairly quick in its response and generally doesn't suffer from any performance issues so far.

Dislike

Takes a bit of work to get it tuned properly, but Platform is powerful and relatively user-friendly, so not much to dislike. Wish it scanned/synced on a bit faster or customizable cadence as well (takes a few hours for everything to sync and seems to sync 3-4 times per 24 hours). One other minor issue for us was the inability to integrate multiple CloudTrail trails from a single AWS account (for example, if you have your data plane and management logs going to separate S3 buckets. I'm not a fan of credit-based billing either and the cloud asset to credit ratio system seems kind of arbitrary and confusing at times. Can get expensive as well if you aren't careful.

Dislike

overpromised and under delivered on some features

Dislike

Customization. The Tenable Cloud Security works as is. Besides adding on integrations, there isn't many customizations past using filters within the product.

    Tenable Provides Strong Assistance Despite Some Functionality and Customization Gaps

    4.0
    Oct 24, 2025
    The relationship with Tenable has been great. For the most part, they've been responsive and have asked for our feedback on the product. When we need support, they're only a contact away from receiving help. The technical reps are able to answer almost any of our questions and when they're not, they reach out to their developers or other skilled engineers about the product for help. They've taken our feedback and have implemented changes to their products that we would like to see implemented in a fairly timely fashion. We're utilizing multiple modules of their product and have received good feedback from our other teams on utilizing the product. I feel that there are a few areas that they still can improve in terms of functionality however, I haven't really seen many other products in the market accomplish what I've seen from Tenable.

    Multi-Cloud Support and Compliance Features Stand Out In Tenable Platform Integration

    Sep 23, 2025
    Tenable Cloud Security is a great product on its own; however, with integration into Tenable One it is an excellent choice for existing Tenable customers. The product supports multi-cloud environments and provides deep visibility into cloud vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, data governance, compliance, and cloud identity entitlement management.

    Tenable has been a long-time vendor of ours and has supported our efforts to improve our security posture and how we integrate many public clouds into their environment. The team I work with is exceptional and works with us to ensure we get the best product at the best price. Anytime we've had any questions or issues, we can always get together with support or an engineer to help us out.
