About Kenna

Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna) is a vulnerability management software from Cisco that delivers risk-based prioritization. It combines risk prioritization powered by intelligence, pulling data from existing tools such as scanners, and identifying vulnerabilities that will reduce the risk so users can focus the resources on the risks that matter most. The platform predicts exploits and drives down risk, offering a self-guided demo for potential users. Cisco Vulnerability Management also supports integrations with various security tools to centralize and simplify risk management efforts. Key capabilities: risk prioritization vulnerability identification data integration predictive analytics resource allocation Best for: security teams that need to manage and prioritize vulnerabilities effectively.

Cisco Vulnerability Management (CVM), formerly known as Kenna.VM, is a robust cloud-based security platform designed to help organizations proactively identify, assess, and remediate vulnerabilities based on real-world risk factors. In an era where cybersecurity threats are rapidly evolving, CVM stands out by leveraging data science, machine learning, and threat intelligence to prioritize vulnerabilities effectively. Unlike traditional vulnerability management solutions that overwhelm security teams with vast amounts of raw data, CVM streamlines the process by focusing on the most critical threats that are likely to be exploited. This approach allows IT and security teams to allocate their limited resources more efficiently, reducing the overall risk of cyberattacks. One of the key strengths of CVM is its user-friendly interface, which provides a modern, intuitive dashboard that visually presents an organization’s vulnerability landscape. This makes it easier for both security professionals and IT teams to understand their risk posture and make informed decisions. The dashboard offers a clear overview of risk levels, remediation recommendations, and vulnerability trends, allowing users to track their progress over time.
