Tenable has secured the top position for worldwide market share in vulnerability and exposure management, according to the latest IDC Market Shares report. This recognition underscores the company’s growing influence and the effectiveness of its integrated, AI-driven approach to cybersecurity.
The Tenable One platform serves as the backbone of this achievement, unifying data from more than 300 security tools and proprietary sensors. This consolidation offers security teams a single, intelligent view of potential exposures, helping them prioritize risks that are most likely to be exploited. By normalizing and correlating diverse data sources while incorporating attack path analytics, Tenable enables organizations to move beyond simple vulnerability scanning toward holistic exposure management.
Mark Thurmond, co-chief executive officer at Tenable, emphasized that seven consecutive years of market leadership reflect the deep trust customers place in their solutions. The company remains committed to advancing exposure management technologies that not only respond to threats but prevent them proactively.
A key factor in Tenable’s continued dominance is its open and interconnected platform architecture. The recent acquisition of Apex Security further strengthens its offering, integrating AI security capabilities directly into Tenable One. The newly launched Tenable AI Exposure provides organizations with critical visibility into AI usage, potential risks, and necessary controls for safe adoption of generative AI tools.
The IDC report highlights that exposure management represents a significant evolution from traditional vulnerability management. By combining data from CVEs, unknown assets, misconfigurations, and other exposure types, organizations gain a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of their risk posture.
Michelle Abraham, senior research director of Security and Trust at IDC, noted that as attack surfaces continue to expand, proactive exposure management becomes essential. Advanced tools are necessary to identify hidden risks and address critical security gaps before they can be exploited.
This latest accolade follows Tenable’s recognition as a Leader in the IDC MarketScape for Worldwide Exposure Management, reinforcing its role as an innovator and trusted partner in cybersecurity.
