Case Study: Tenable helps define attack surface management insights with CloudQuery

Tenable finds 62% of organizations have unknown assets with CloudQuery

Tenable, a cybersecurity company, faced the challenge of managing an unknown and expanding external attack surface, with research showing that 62% of organizations have undiscovered internet-facing assets. To solve this problem of finding resources their security team didn't know existed, they utilized CloudQuery to build a queryable cloud attack surface inventory.

CloudQuery provided a solution by continuously syncing configuration data from AWS, GCP, and Azure into a SQL database. This gave Tenable a real-time, queryable inventory of all exposed resources, enabling them to find public S3 buckets, EC2 instances with public IPs, and other critical exposures. The result was near-real-time visibility, allowing Tenable to be notified of new exposures within minutes and to verify that fixes were actually implemented.
