Tenable announced on Friday that the company has achieved the “In Process” designation from the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) for Tenable.io, the company’s cloud-based vulnerability management platform.
“As a cloud-first company, we understand the importance of and reliance on secure cloud computing, especially in environments as sensitive and critical as the federal government,” said Bill Kurtz, vice president of public sector sales at Tenable.
The FedRAMP “In Process” designation indicates that the company is actively working towards a complete FedRAMP authorization. With an official FedRAMP authorization, the federal government will deploy Tenable.io and Tenable.io Web Application Scanning across various departments and agencies.
“The federal government has relied on our best-of-breed on-premises vulnerability management solutions for decades and we’re excited to soon be able to offer our cloud-based enterprise platform, Tenable.io,” Kurtz added.
Tenable.io provides the industry’s most comprehensive vulnerability coverage with the ability to understand cyber risk and predict which vulnerabilities need to be remediated first.
Tenable.io, powered by Nessus technology, is built on an open and elastic platform. It continuously tracks and assesses known and unknown assets and their vulnerabilities in customer environments to provide a risk-based view of the entire attack surface — from IT to cloud to web applications.
