Featured Reviews

Marc Chapel - PeerSpot reviewer
Stable product with efficient features for listing vulnerabilities
I recommend BitSight because it is very convenient to use. It has become a standard tool used in many companies. It is easy to share a few components of an algorithm for users. It is not ideal as it only reflects some of the reality of Internet-facing applications. However, it is the best solution at the moment. I rate it an eight out of ten.
Yusuf-Hashmi - PeerSpot reviewer
It creates a risk score that helps me develop a remediation plan, so the infrastructure team can move quickly to address risks
Tenable Lumin's dashboard helps me understand my vulnerabilities and which tasks I should prioritize for vulnerability remediation. Tenable creates a risk score that helps me develop a remediation plan, so the infrastructure team can move quickly to address risks. Real-time threat intelligence is also helpful. They get multiple sources of intelligence and correlate the data. Lumin discovers your assets through an agent or a network scan. That's an excellent feature that I'm leveraging now to better understand where all my assets are.
