Tenable.asm will be available for purchase early in the third quarter of 2022.
Tenable is also integrating foundational quarterly attack surface discovery into its existing market-leading cyber exposure solutions at no additional cost to Tenable customers. New capabilities will be included in Tenable.io, Tenable.sc and Tenable.ep early in the third quarter of 2022.
