Founded in 2002, Tenable Network <strong>Security</strong> provides<br />
continuous network monitoring to identify vulnerabilities,<br />
reduce risk and ensure compliance. Relied<br />
upon by more than 20,000 organizations around the<br />
world, Tenable’s key clients include Fortune Global 500<br />
companies across industries as well as the entire U.S.<br />
Department <strong>of</strong> Defense (DoD) and many <strong>of</strong> the world’s<br />
leading governments. With the largest install base and<br />
best expertise in the industry, Tenable gives customers<br />
the ability to identify their biggest threats and respond<br />
quickly. Through its work with the DoD, Tenable’s<br />

• Employ a commercial solution that could be easily<br />
ordered and quickly deployed across the DoD infrastructure.<br />
• Support enterprise-wide deployment across the<br />
