Case Study: Healthcare Services Organization modernizes vulnerability management with Nucleus Security

Healthcare Enterprise Replaces Cisco Vulnerability Management (Kenna) with Nucleus

Healthcare Services Organization was running its vulnerability program on Cisco Vulnerability Management (Kenna) but needed a better replacement as the product stalled after Cisco’s acquisition. The team faced deprecated connectors, limited reporting, opaque risk scoring, manual workarounds, and scaling challenges across a multi-entity healthcare environment.

Nucleus Security implemented a rapid Kenna-to-Nucleus cutover, recreating groupings and ownership logic, upgrading prioritization with Nucleus Insights, and rebuilding dashboards in just days. The result was an initial migration in less than 30 days, a 99.8% reduction in the immediate do-now backlog from 4,000+ items to 9 urgent exposures, and the replacement of spreadsheet- and calendar-driven processes with automation.
