Tenable Security Center

The coverage of our entire environment improved significantly because we implemented several scanners throughout our organization, which is how Tenable Security Center  helped improve our vulnerability management process. In the beginning of the implementation, it took us some time to ensure that it covered all of our environment. One of the challenges we faced regarding this product was the number of licenses, because Tenable Security Center  scans all devices, including printers. We needed to decrease this because some parts of our environment did not require patching status monitoring. Beyond the licensing challenge, Tenable Security Center helped us with its reporting capabilities and coordinating with other departments in technology to ensure the closing of all missing patches while giving us the criticality of each patch and how we need to address these patches. This became one of our successful stories that helped us and other departments to close any gaps in patching in a timely manner. Additionally, from a regulatory perspective, since we need to report to regulatory requirements and comply with patching standards, Tenable Security Center was a great help to us.

From my experience, I assess the product's analytics capabilities as successful. It helped us significantly with patching and managing the risk of the patching process across all our environments, including network devices with Windows and Unix systems. The product covered several environments and gave us exactly what we needed in our environment.

Tenable Security Center's centralized platform helped with risk assessment and management across our IT environments. It covered the patching process, and we previously faced many issues regarding how to patch different environments, how to monitor the patching process, and whether it was successful or not. We obtained good reports showing when patches were closed and the details of each patch, including who executed it and everything related to the patching process until it was closed. This gave us good details about the process which helped us significantly in our reporting and even in audits, whether internal or external. We learned how to close audit issues safely and successfully.

We used the dashboards for real-time threat insights and extracted several dashboards from Tenable Security Center. We use these dashboards in our cybersecurity dashboard and committees that we have. These dashboards are part of our committees, especially the cybersecurity committee and other committees that we attend.

We did conduct a long implementation which relates to what I think can be improved about Tenable Security Center. In some cases, we needed to refer back to Tenable itself, and in other cases, we needed to get support from Tenable rather than from the vendor. When we tried to do some development in certain areas of our environment, we required additional support.

Regarding the continuous visibility feature, I have not used it.

I rate Tenable technical support as an eight or nine out of ten. They are helpful and were very helpful to us, coordinating with us on several issues. When we could not resolve an issue with the vendor, we referred to them and raised a ticket, which usually resulted in good support from their team.

The initial setup and deployment took some time, and the vendor we worked with required a considerable amount of time to fully implement the product and customize it to run and extract reports from it. However, the vendor was of great help and provided us with good support. This was a significant project for us, especially when we increased our license and renewed it to cover our entire bank environment.

I think Tenable Security Center is the best option on the market at the moment for us. I know there are other solutions available, but when we compare them, Tenable Security Center fully covered all of our requirements. There is also a price comparison to consider, and I believe it offers a good price compared to others. While there are other products available, I consider Tenable Security Center reasonable to have in our environment.

I have not encountered any major issues regarding Tenable Security Center. I would rate this review a nine out of ten.
