About Ermetic (now Tenable)

Ermetic's product reveals toxic combinations across misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, identities, and sensitive data. It provides full-stack visibility into cloud and AI workloads to prioritize risks. It gives unified visibility into cloud security posture through a global asset inventory and exposure analytics. It provides a unified view across cloud infrastructure, identities, and workloads.

Products

  • Cloud Exposure (CNAPP): Closes cloud exposure through a cloud security platform.
  • Cloud Exposure CIEM: Secures cloud environments from exploited identities, overly-permissive access, and excessive permissions.
  • Tenable Just-in-Time (JIT) Access: Minimizes cloud attack surface while allowing developers to remain agile.
  • Tenable One: Described as an exposure management platform.
  • Tenable Security Center: Identifies and prioritizes vulnerabilities based on business risk, managed on premises.
  • Tenable Patch Management: Supports security and IT collaboration and shortens time to remediate with automation.

Used for

  • Discovering assets and detecting misconfigurations in real-time
  • Visualizing access paths and enforcing least privilege
  • Discovering sensitive data and AI assets across multi-cloud environments
  • Detecting, monitoring, correlating, and triaging alerts into actionable incidents

Who it is for

  • Financial Services
  • Healthcare
  • Technology

How to evaluate Cloud Security & CSPM

This is how the CIOPages Research Team evaluates this category. It is not an assessment of Ermetic (now Tenable). It comes from our Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) buyer guide.

25%
Risk Prioritization & Attack-Path Analysis
Context graph that correlates misconfiguration, internet reachability, identity/permissions, vulnerabilities, secrets, and data sensitivity into ranked attack paths to crown-jewel assets; toxic-combination detection; quality of the “fix these 10” output versus raw finding volume; false-positive rate in your own accounts
20%
Coverage Model: Agentless Breadth vs. Runtime Depth
Agentless snapshot/API scanning for fast 100%-estate visibility versus agent/eBPF runtime for in-production threat detection (CDR); container, serverless, and Kubernetes (KSPM) coverage; how the two models combine without double-counting; performance impact and deployment friction
20%
Multi-Cloud & Platform Consolidation (CNAPP)
Depth and parity across AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, and Kubernetes from one console; how many of CSPM, CIEM, CWPP, DSPM, KSPM, and code/IaC security are genuinely unified on one data model versus bolted-on acquisitions; single policy and one risk score across domains
15%
Identity & Entitlements (CIEM)
Effective-permission analysis across human and machine identities, cross-account and federated role mapping, detection of unused and over-privileged entitlements, least-privilege right-sizing recommendations, and privilege escalation / lateral-movement path discovery
10%
Remediation, Automation & Developer Workflow
Guided and auto-remediation, IaC and pull-request fixes (shift-left to code), guardrails that prevent drift, ticketing/SOAR integration, ownership routing to the right team, and API/Terraform coverage for security-as-code
10%
Compliance, Reporting & SOC Integration
Out-of-the-box frameworks (CIS, PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, FedRAMP, NIST) with custom policy authoring, audit-ready evidence and drift history, RBAC/SSO on the console, and clean export of correlated cloud risk into the SIEM/SOC rather than a siloed dashboard
