Phase 8: Optimization and Maturity

Optimization and maturity is the eighth and final phase of the Tenable One adoption roadmap. This phase focuses on shifting from day-to-day visibility to long-term, measurable security improvement and program maturity.

Expected Outcomes

During this phase, you leverage the full capabilities of Tenable One to drive strategic risk reduction. The expected outcomes include:

• Tenable One is used to set and drive exposure reduction goals across IT/OT, cloud, AI, and identity teams.

• Attack path reductions are measured over time.

• Remediation timelines (MTTR) demonstrably decrease quarter-over-quarter.

• Executive dashboards are used for board-level or compliance reporting.

• A periodic review of Tenable Exposure Management configurations is scheduled to ensure they remain aligned with business goals.

Why This Is Important

This phase represents a mature exposure management program. Your organization is no longer just finding and fixing vulnerabilities; you are proactively reducing risk, measuring improvement, and using platform insights to inform your overall security strategy.

Verification

You can verify the success of this phase by confirming the following:

• The Exposure Score trend demonstrates consistent, measurable advancement and out-performance of industry peers. For more information, see Exposure View.

• A quarterly maturity review is performed. For more information, see View Assessment Maturity Details and View Remediation Maturity Details.
