Tenable Launches Patch Management to Accelerate Vulnerability Fixes

Tenable®, a provider of exposure management, has unveiled Tenable Patch Management, an autonomous patching solution designed to swiftly and effectively mitigate vulnerability exposures. Built on a strategic partnership with Adaptiva, a global innovator in autonomous endpoint management, this unified solution aims to revolutionize how organizations address security gaps.

Managing vulnerabilities has long been a challenge for enterprises, with the arduous process of identifying, testing, and applying numerous daily patches often leading to delays. According to a recent Tenable report, only 11% of organizations consider themselves efficient at vulnerability remediation, leaving critical exposures open for extended periods. Meanwhile, the average time for attackers to exploit vulnerabilities has drastically decreased from 32 days to just five.
