Tenable Lumin

  • Remediation Maturity

    • Quantifies how an organization is performing at remediating vulnerabilities in their environment. It provides insight by assessing two underlying components.

      • Remediation Responsiveness indicates you are quickly remediating the most critical vulnerabilities on your assets.

      • Remediation Coverage indicates you are remediating a high percentage of the most critical vulnerabilities on your assets.

    • Organizations are assigned a grade along with comparisons to their industry peers and overall population. With this grading, organizations can compare their efforts to others and improve processes as needed.

    • Recommended Actions based on improved Remediation Maturity will be provided for overall remediation hygiene.

    • This bookends Assessment Maturity (released earlier this year) to give a comprehensive view into program and process maturity.

  • CES Trending by Business Context

    • Highlights CES trending performance by tagged asset group, giving additional context to how a group is performing.

    • New 6-month sparkline and 14-day trend added to the Business Context table on the Tenable Lumin dashboard.

    • CES trendline added to the Business Context details page per tag.
