🔎 Unclaimed — this is our research, not their listing. Tenable has not submitted anything to us, has not seen or approved this page, and has not claimed this listing. There is no vendor description here, and we have not written one on their behalf. Everything below comes from our own dossier — the same one behind the Honest Software Atlas. Reader reviews are moderated for spam only; critical ones get published too.

What we found — independently

Researched by AIBM, not supplied by the vendor. The vendor has not been involved in this page at all.

Our pricing check · read 2026-08-30 on tenable.com/buy and the Nessus Essentials…Nessus Essentials is free — a 30-day licence for 5 IPs, non-commercial only, with plugin updates delayed 30 days and no reporting, data export, compliance checks or support.
What will cost you money if you skim itNote on how we link this one, updated 28 Jul 2026: between 21 and 28 July our partner link was dead — Tenable's shop subdomain stopped resolving, so we pointed the link at Tenable's own product page and earned nothing from it.

“Advanced Support (24x365 phone, email, community and chat) is a $400/year add-on on both.”

Genuinely good for

security teams and IT-mature companies that need continuous, authoritative vulnerability scanning and can remediate what it finds

Skip it if

you have no one to triage and fix findings — a managed security service or a lighter scanner fits a small team better

Work at Tenable? This page is yours the moment you claim it.

Write your own description and it appears at the top of this page, in your words, free — no fee during beta and no strings. What does not change: our research stays exactly where it is, underneath, and you cannot edit it. That is the point of the page. Two honest caveats before you bother: our audience is still modest and growing, and the outbound link is nofollow ugc, so this is not an SEO play.

We have pre-filled the name, site and category we already have on file, so the only thing left to write is the description. A claimed page also drops the noindex we keep on research-only pages.
