Tenable versus CrowdStrike
CrowdStrike’s endpoint-first approach to exposure management leaves dangerous visibility gaps across cloud, OT, IoT, web apps and networks — gaps attackers exploit. Tenable delivers complete attack surface coverage with faster and more accurate exposure detection, stronger compliance capabilities and richer vulnerability intelligence so you can know, expose and close risk everywhere it lives.
Unified exposure across IT, cloud, identity, and OT
Exposure from endpoint and identity telemetry
Combines integrated metrics across risk-based vulnerability management, web app scanning (WAS), cloud security, identity, OT security, EASM and exposure third-party data
Only Windows-network coverage at this time.
Unified asset graph across IT, cloud, OT, and identities
Based on discovered external and managed endpoint assets
Vulnerability Intelligence for insight into current critical threats and to understand details based on Tenable Research
Not offered
Exposure Response to track risk remediation with SLAs — instead of cumulative risk scores — and a single end-to-end workflow and a risk-based approach, regardless of patch availability
Not offered
Covers a wide variety of compliance frameworks across various OSs
CIS and DISA STIG benchmarks
Industry's broadest coverage published on https://www.tenable.com/plugins
Not published
Comparison of cyber risk to industry peers and to quickly identify shortcomings and strengths
Not offered
Coverage for a wide variety of asset types — endpoints, network devices, OT, cloud workloads, web apps
Primarily focused on endpoints with a Falcon agent and network devices visible to a Falcon agent
Agent-based, agentless and network scanning
Agent-based and network scanning for devices visible to a Falcon agent
High—replaces scanners, CSPM, IAM risk tools, attack graphing, custom dashboards
Low—adds exposure context to Falcon but doesn't replace core security tools
Transparent Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR) helps you pinpoint the 1.6% of vulnerabilities most likely to be exploited
Black box scoring method that lacks contextual intelligence
Automatically correlate vulnerabilities to the right remediation
Patching limited to endpoint vulnerability remediation via agent
CrowdStrike’s platform requires you to have an additional logging aggregator or platform that would ingest the logs from their identity protection platform. Tenable’s Identity Exposure [part of Tenable One] fits nicely into our ecosystem… Tenable One will have visibility into configuration issues in our Active Directory [AD] or authentication mechanisms... It just brings it nicely together.”
