User Testimonials
	Informer External Attack Surface Management	Tenable Security Center
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	Tenable.sc is best suited for those organizations who are not very comfortable with Cloud and want an on-premises solution. If any organization has to follow some guidelines that no data should go to the cloud, in this case, Tenable.sc is a perfect fit as it's installed in the infra Datacenter and no data goes to Cloud. Tenable.sc won't be appropriate for those who have their infra setup on cloud. Incentivized Chandan Singh Rathore Senior Technical Consultant Read full review
