eSentire Named Tenable’s 2026 Global MSSP Partner of the Year

We are thrilled to announce that eSentire has been selected as Tenable's 2026 Global MSSP Partner of the Year, recognized at Tenable AssureWorld.

After securing Tenable's North America MSSP Partner of the Year title five years in a row, earning the global recognition is a milestone that reflects the depth and consistency of our partnership with Tenable and our shared commitment to delivering measurable outcomes for our customers.

What Exposure Management Actually Requires

Identifying vulnerabilities is only the beginning. Understanding which exposures are exploitable in your environment, validating remediations, and continuously simulating how an attacker would move through your infrastructure is what separates simple vulnerability scanning from security that drives real outcomes.

For most organizations, vulnerability scanning generates more findings than their teams can realistically address. The result is a growing remediation backlog, a prioritization problem, and exposure that persists long after it's been identified.

The gap between discovery and remediation is where organizations are compromised, and closing this gap requires adversarial validation and offensive operations working in a closed loop with your defensive program.

This is precisely where eSentire's Offensive Security & Exposure Management capabilities complement what Tenable's platform delivers.

While Tenable's technology provides the visibility and scanning precision, we layer expert-led prioritization, adversarial validation, and offensive testing to turn findings into a continuously hardening security posture.

What eSentire Delivers

From initial discovery through prioritized remediation guidance and offensive validation, eSentire pairs Tenable's scanning precision with 24/7 expert coverage to manage the full exposure lifecycle.

That means your team has access to:

• Adversarial testing: Where conventional vulnerability management identifies CVEs, our offensive capabilities confirm which exposures are exploitable in your live environment and verify that remediations have held after the patch. This is the distinction between a theoretical risk score and a validated exposure.
• Full attack surface visibility: Tenable's sensors automatically gather vulnerability data across on-premises and cloud environments, including remote assets that aren't on the network, a capability that matters as workforces and infrastructure continue to expand beyond traditional perimeters.
• Active risk prioritization and lifecycle tracking: Our experts analyze findings using Tenable's dynamic VPR scoring, sequence remediation from highest to lowest risk, and provide the guidance your team needs to act quickly on what matters most.
• Dedicated expertise and continuous optimization: A dedicated team handles end-to-end exposure management, alleviating resource constraints and providing ongoing platform refinement so the program improves over time, not just at onboarding.
• Co-managed flexibility: Full system access and the ability to run customized scans and reporting so your team stays in control without carrying the full operational burden.

In a recent eSentire Customer Success evaluation, 96% confirmed an overall improvement in their security posture.

Tenable One: Going Beyond Vulnerability Scanning

For organizations running Tenable One, the service extends beyond exposure management into cloud security.

Tenable One's cloud platform uses an identity-first approach to cloud security, understanding and identifying issues with user and entity permissions assignment, one of the leading causes of cloud compromise.

For security teams managing complex hybrid environments, this context closes a gap that vulnerability scanning alone cannot address.

eSentire's integration with Tenable One also includes:

• Holistic risk management: Asset inventory and critical asset identification capabilities prioritize vulnerabilities by business impact, not just technical severity.
• Proactive defense enablement: Attack path analysis provides foresight into potential exploitation routes, enabling teams to take preventive action before attackers find the path first.
• Business-aligned risk reduction: Asset impact and risk scores are translated into remediation guidance aligned with protecting your highest-value assets, not just closing the most tickets.
• Cloud security coverage: Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), Cloud Workload Protection (CWPP), Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management, and vulnerability analysis capabilities maintain visibility across your entire cloud environment.

A Partnership Built on Outcomes

eSentire has been Tenable's top MSSP partner in North America for five consecutive years because the model works for customers.

This means our customers don't have to choose between scanning and operational expertise. Our approach pairs Tenable's scanning precision and exposure intelligence with eSentire's offensive capabilities and 24/7 expert operations, closing the loop that vulnerability management alone cannot close.

For organizations that want to leverage their existing Tenable investment without adding internal headcount, our flexible BYOL options allow us to take over management of existing Tenable instances — no new licenses required.

Earning Tenable's global recognition reflects what we've built together — a managed vulnerability program that meets organizations where they are, closes the gap between discovery and remediation, and scales with the complexity of their environments.

We're proud of this recognition, and more focused than ever on delivering the outcomes that earned it.
