The “flat base” moves straight sideways in a fairly tight price range for at least five weeks and does not correct more than 15%.

“Tenable One takes the core vulnerability data, combines it with threat intelligence, which can then show the customer the likely path an attacker might attempt to exploit,” Nowinski said. “It enables customers to better understand where they are vulnerable and the threats that could impact their organization.”
