Tenable®, the exposure management company, recently announced it has been named a Leader in “The Forrester Wave™: Unified Vulnerability Management, Q3 2025.”
Tenable ranked highest of any evaluated vendor in the Strategy category and received the highest possible scores (5.0) across seven different criteria, including Vision and Roadmap.
Forrester defines Unified Vulnerability Management as “a solution that serves as the primary book of record for all organisational vulnerabilities and improves and facilitates remediation workflows.”1 The report evaluated 10 vendors’ unified vulnerability management capabilities based on 19 different criteria.
Tenable’s rank as a leader is based on Forrester’s analysis of its Strategy and Current Offering, the Tenable One Exposure Management Platform, which received the highest possible score in seven different criteria, including:
- Vision: Tenable credits its 5.0 score to its market momentum and sharp focus on changing the landscape for proactive security teams. The Forrester report notes, “Tenable continues to extend its established vulnerability management offerings into exposure management with its Tenable One platform”.
- Breadth of Assets Supported: Tenable credits this score to its unmatched visibility across IT, cloud, OT, identity, and more—through both native discovery and seamless third-party data ingestion.
- Exposure Assessment and Prioritisation: Tenable attributes this score to its holistic organisational and contextual perspective of risk based on threat impact and attack path modelling across multiple environment types.
- Reporting: The report states, “[Tenable’s] reporting stands out with ready-for-presentation reports that include trending and benchmarks.”
- Benchmarking: Tenable attributes its score to its customisable peer-to-peer analyses across industry, geography and more with relevant information to their organisation.
According to Forrester’s report, “Tenable’s vision considers how proactive security teams will need new strategies to address attackers’ evolving techniques over the next three to five years. Its strategy is complemented by a strong roadmap that includes expanding remediation and response capabilities, with a significant focus on remediation orchestration. Tenable’s flexible asset-ratio-based pricing model allows customers to scale Tenable One to select different assets to be monitored”.
The Forrester report also acknowledged the company “continues to extend its established vulnerability assessment offerings into exposure management with its Tenable One platform”.
“As attackers grow more sophisticated, organisations need unified visibility and risk-based prioritisation to stay ahead”, said Eric Doerr, Chief Product Officer, Tenable. “Unified vulnerability management is the essential first step toward effective exposure management. To us, this recognition affirms Tenable’s prowess in helping customers move from fragmented data to a cohesive, risk-based approach. With Tenable One, we’re giving them the clarity and confidence to reduce risk faster and more effectively”.
