Tenable Holdings - TENB STOCK NEWS

Tenable, the exposure management company, has been ranked first in worldwide market share for device vulnerability management for the sixth consecutive year, according to the IDC Worldwide Device Vulnerability Management Market Shares report. Tenable attributes its success to its AI-powered exposure management platform, Tenable One, which unifies security visibility across IT, cloud, OT, IoT, web apps, and identity systems.

The IDC report highlights Tenable's use of generative AI through ExposureAI, which provides natural language search queries, attack path summaries, and mitigation guidance. Tenable's latest innovations, Vulnerability Intelligence and Exposure Response, were also noted. The company's strategic efforts to recruit managed security service providers and improve their onboarding experience were emphasized, along with partnerships with MDR providers like Sophos and Coalfire.

Tenable's 2024 Cloud Risk Report reveals alarming security gaps in cloud environments. 38% of organizations face the 'toxic cloud triad' - publicly exposed, critically vulnerable, and highly privileged cloud workloads.

Key findings include:

• 84.2% of organizations have risky access keys to cloud resources
• 23% of cloud identities have excessive permissions
• 74% of organizations have publicly exposed storage assets
• 78% have publicly accessible Kubernetes API servers

The report emphasizes that many security gaps can be easily addressed once identified and exposed. It analyzes data from billions of cloud resources across multiple public cloud repositories from January to June 2024.
