Tenable versus CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management

Proactively secure your attack surface — not just your endpoints

Tenable has defined proactive security with best-in-class vulnerability management for more than two decades. And now, we are leading the way to exposure management. While CrowdStrike specializes in reactive incident response with endpoint detection and response (EDR), we enable security leaders to identify, prioritize and mitigate cyber risks effectively before attackers can exploit them.

Why customers choose Tenable over CrowdStrike

Unified view

Tenable One Exposure Management platform continuously evaluates the accessibility, exploitability and criticality of all your digital assets across cloud and on-prem: IT systems, cloud resources, identity systems, web apps, OT devices, external attack surface management (EASM) and third-party cybersecurity tools.

See all of your exposures in a unified view
Pull in multiple diverse vulnerability sources, including threat intelligence data like CrowdStrike

CrowdStrike Exposure Management is primarily EDR-centric, with recently added limited network vulnerability assessment capabilities. It still lacks comprehensive context across the entire attack surface, including web applications and third-party data.

“CrowdStrike’s platform requires you to have an additional logging aggregator or platform that would ingest the logs from their identity protection platform. Tenable’s Identity Exposure [part of Tenable One] fits nicely into our ecosystem… Tenable One will have visibility into configuration issues in our Active Directory [AD] or authentication mechanisms... It just brings it nicely together.”

Director Cybersecurity, NA Health Research Company¹

Unified analytics

Separate actual exposures from all the noise to enhance productivity and minimize risk:

Tenable offers fully integrated and normalized risk metrics for all asset types and data sources.
Tenable maps all assets, identities, and risks to critical business services, processes and functions for rich context to drive smarter remediation decisions.
The addition of 3rd party data, including threat intelligence sources like CrowdStrike intelligence, centralizes the view and improves context-driven risk prioritization

CrowdStrike Exposure Management prioritization model is limited by its reliance on endpoint telemetry² and can’t match Tenable’s analysis of 50+ trillion data points.

安全防护不仅限于端点

Continuous assessments across IT, cloud, OT/IoT, networks and third-party apps
Detect lesser-known CVEs and systems missing EDR agents
Use multiple detection technologies: agents, passive monitoring, distributed scan engines, dynamic application security testing (DAST), OT sensor, and infrastructure as code (IaC) assessment
Analyze data and context from multiple third-party sources

Falcon Exposure Management assessment is limited to endpoints with a Falcon agent². While CrowdStrike has recently introduced network vulnerability assessment, its coverage is primarily focused on endpoints and systems that are immediate neighbors.³

Data accuracy and transparency

Tenable’s rich plugin output provides detailed vulnerability context to streamline dispute resolutions and minimize time wasted on false positives.
Unlike CrowdStrike, which primarily relies on package enumerations, Tenable performs additional checks, like examining dynamic link library (DLL) files and registry keys for more accurate detection and fewer false positives.
Tenable’s Vulnerability Intelligence tracks vulnerability history over time. Exposure Response enables risk remediation tracking with service level agreements (SLAs). Together, they create a unified risk-based workflow, regardless of patch availability.

CrowdStrike Exposure Management detection produces a high volume of noise and false-positives.

CrowdStrike Exposure Management doesn’t provide a full path to the vulnerability.

“CrowdStrike…has a vulnerability management module…we own that module, but frankly, it doesn't have the same coverage as the other enterprise vulnerability management tools such as Tenable…Tenable by far has better vulnerability coverage, meaning they assess way more applications and way more vulnerabilities.”
