What is Tenable Cloud Security?

Tenable Cloud Security (formerly Tenable.cs) enables security teams to continuously assess the security posture of their cloud environments by maintaining a current inventory of cloud assets for proactive analysis whenever a new vulnerability is published without a user having to take any actions. It includes technology from Accurics, acquired by Tenable in September 2021.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have been using Tenable for over 6 years, Cloud Security is just this year. We use Cloud Security to monitor our cloud accounts - configuration and EC2 vulnerabilities. There is a new version of Cloud Security, just released due to a purchase Tenable made - we are migrating to that as it improves what we have been doing and adds Identity/Roles, and S3 buckets as new core features.

Pros

Easy to connect to cloud account
Provides basic configuration details or account, networking, what's public

Cons

Difficult to attribute the vulnerabilities to the correct instance - cloud is too dynamic. Is supposed to be fixed in new version - we will see.

Return on Investment

Being a Tenable One customer - these are just new features we suddenly own. As long as you have the asset count available
