Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) vs. Tenable Vulnerability Management

Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM), the original SaaS risk-based vulnerability management platform, prioritizes vulnerabilities that pose a real risk, enabling Security and IT teams to focus their limited resources and remediate more efficiently. Cisco’s data science-driven prioritization evaluates both enterprise data and a wealth of data on real-world exploit activity and translates that context into actionable intelligence to guide remediation.

Tenable Vulnerability Management provides a risk-based approach to identifying, prioritizing, and remediating vulnerabilities across your entire attack surface. Powered by Nessus technology and AI-driven analytics, it goes beyond CVSS scores to assess exploitability, asset criticality, and business impact—so you can focus on what matters most. With continuous visibility, automated scanning, and real-time risk insights, security teams can quickly expose and close critical vulnerabilities before they’re exploited.
