What Do the MSSP Portal Updates Mean for Tenable and Its Partners?

The MSSP portal updates enable Tenable to capitalize on a "massive, untapped market opportunity," COO Mark Thurmond stated. They highlight Tenable's commitment to helping MSSPs and empower them to quickly spin out their own cloud-based vulnerability management services.

Furthermore, the MSSP portal updates help Tenable's partners simplify the delivery of managed detection and response (MDR) services, said Rob Watson, VP of security services at eSentire, a Top 250 MSSP and Top 20 MDR service provider. They ensure MSSPs can log into customers' cloud containers, reducing the need to manage multiple credentials per end-user container.
