Tenable Cloud Security FAQ

What is Tenable Cloud Security?

Tenable Cloud Security is a fully integrated cloud infrastructure security solution, combining powerful cloud security posture management (CSPM) and cloud security workload protection (CWP) capabilities, with best-in-class cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM), cloud detection and response (CDR) technologies, and highly innovative infrastructure-as-code (IaC) security and Kubernetes security posture management (KSPM) solutions. The cloud native application protection platform (CNAPP) manages your multi-cloud inventory, enforces preventive security policies across the stack (addressing identity, network, data and compute risks), detects and responds to live threats, shifts security left and automatically remediates risks via IaC, CI/CD, or runtime environments. This enables benchmarking against security standards, and drives compliance enforcement across organizations.

How is Tenable Cloud Security priced and licensed?

Tenable Cloud Security includes all CNAPP components and can be purchased as a stand-alone product or as part of Tenable One. Stand-alone pricing is based upon the number of billable resources. Volume discounts are then applied based on the total forecasted monthly usage. Similarly, when priced as part of Tenable One, the base pricing is based on the number of total billable resources. Resources are then priced at a 3:1 ratio in Tenable One and then volume discounts are applied using the total assets subscribed under the existing Tenable One licensing. Just-in-time (JIT) access is licensed separately and can be added to either the standalone offering or offering priced as part of Tenable One. Contact a Tenable representative for tailored pricing information and questions.
