Why did IBM select Tenable as the preferred partner for QVM customers?

• Tenable is the clear market leader based on analyst feedback:
  • “Tenable is a great choice for enterprises looking for a VRM vendor that provides strong prioritization and reporting across device types.” - Forrester, The Forrester Wave™: Vulnerability Risk Management, Q4 2019, October 2019
  • "Tenable is working toward moving its customers away from vulnerability management as a compliance-based reporting medium into a risk-based solution designed to help organizations manage and measure cyber-risk across the modern attack surface.” - IDC, Worldwide Device Vulnerability Management Market Shares, 2019: Finding the Transitional Elements Between Device Assessment Scanning and Risk-Based Remediation (doc # US46284720, May 2020)

• Tenable covers more vulnerabilities than its competitors based on an independent third party report:
  • #1 in CVE coverage
  • #1 in CVE coverage for CVSSv2 high-severity
  • #1 in CVE coverage across top enterprise vendors

• Tenable can be deployed both on-prem and in the cloud:
  • Thanks to Tenable's deep investment in vulnerability research and product development, the same market-leading CVE and CIS Benchmark coverage offered by Tenable.io is also provided in Tenable.sc™ and Nessus®. These investments have made Nessus not just number one in coverage, but also in accuracy, delivering the industry’s lowest false-positive rate with six-sigma accuracy.
