Unified vulnerability data has reduced risk and currently cuts duplicate tools and license costs

Seemplicity can be improved by adding additional graphs and charts that make it easier to do trending over time. I had to do some of that manually via manual reports, but Seemplicity already has a feature request for this. Seemplicity has done a pretty good job of keeping up with integrations. One gap that I identified and that Seemplicity is trying to fill now is having a complete end-to-end mapping. Seemplicity currently looks at the external attack surface using tools like Censys, and then looks at the internal side, examining what is in AWS and other clouds using CSPM. However, there is not anything that currently ties a property on the outside to a system on the inside, especially when you have additional security layers like web application firewalls that actually mitigate the risk.

Security automation has transformed incident investigations and now delivers faster, trusted responses

AttackIQ offers quick response and gathers more information so I could identify some compromise or incident compromise and perform some analysis. I love the feature for detection engineering, security control validations, zero trust, MITRE ATT&CK, third-party risk validation, and defense optimization. AttackIQ Ready! validations, AttackIQ Flex, and the Command Center help my workflow. For the governance and security of AttackIQ, I believe these surpass the standards of ISO and the NIST standard. Upon review, the optimizations and documentation of AttackIQ are great. The information is complete, and overall, it is awesome. For the accuracy and reliability of output, AttackIQ provides very great information, especially for every incident or request that has occurred. As I have experienced, it provided a great outcome, trustable results, and verified results. Overall, it is great and awesome. I am very happy and thankful for AttackIQ for providing this great application with complete platforms ready. The Enterprise, Command Center, operating system, and solution are great, covering detection engineering, compliance optimizations, defense optimizations, and security control validations. The at-scale offensive testing is great as well, along with red team augmentations, adversary emulation, reduced exposure, and vulnerability prioritization. The optimized defensive posture and especially the zero trust aspect make me very happy regarding AttackIQ, especially its MITRE ATT&CK integrations and third-party risk validations. That is overall awesome.

Has improved our vulnerability tracking and supports cloud-based monitoring with scheduled scans

We don't have any issues with Tenable One Exposure Management Platform. It works well for us, but the only problem is the licensing aspect. In the license, it becomes problematic because when we go to cloud security for vulnerability management, it will take five licenses instead of the one-on-one license that vulnerability exposure management requires. The license needs to be reviewed.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Seemplicity has positively impacted my organization by helping reduce the overhead for our SecOps team to manually create vulnerability tickets."

"Before we really struggled with meeting SLAs that were in place because we did not have the information we needed and there was too much back and forth, now we nearly have a perfect SLA meeting time."

"The best features Seemplicity offers include the aggregation logic, the way it is simplified to view and access, and the ability to have a view in a simpler way."

"Seemplicity has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to provide a single viewpoint into vulnerability management and pen testing for our customers."

"Seemplicity really shines on that remediation component and being able to automate that workflow, and that's a gap where we could not find one of our existing technology partners to be able to fill that void."

"I was also able to pay for the tool twice over by using it for tool rationalization."

"Seemplicity is doing amazing work, and organizations were able to better meet their SLAs, better communicate to their leadership and executive level about the overall risk and exposure levels, and overall have a better understanding of what they are dealing with."

"Seemplicity has helped us see a return on investment by reducing the need for an L1 analyst for AppSec findings through its categorization, deduplication, and automatic remediation assignments, which has significantly decreased the headcount required for initial analysis."

More Seemplicity pros

"After using AttackIQ, it has helped the team and the company improve on false positives and reduce risk, as most people are now capable of identifying how to work on detection, improving fine-tuning and all those things."

"AttackIQ gave the customer visibility into threat areas they were previously unaware of, prompting them to manage those threats and their associated risks because if they don't know a relevant threat exists, they won't manage it, thus improving their understanding and approach to their threat attack surface."

"Running in our SOC, it moves the conversation from assumptions and dashboards to measurable proof, which is exactly what makes AttackIQ valuable in day-to-day security operations."

"AttackIQ has had a positive impact on the organization, especially in the areas of continuous security validation, detection improvement, and overall defensive readiness, with highlights including improved visibility into detection gaps, stronger security controls validation, better SOC readiness, and faster detection engineering improvements, which are improvement areas we have implemented in our project using AttackIQ."

"AttackIQ has improved my security posture by validating security controls, identifying detection gaps, and increasing confidence in my detection and response capabilities."

"AttackIQ is solving a lot of the problems that I had before or that we as an organization had before, even the security team, so it is solving all my issues."

"Overall, I've had a good experience with the product. It's worked well for me."

"From investigations and analysis that previously took four to eight hours, I can now complete them in about ten minutes because of the automations and orchestration."

"We find Tenable One Exposure Management Platform vulnerability prioritization effective overall because, with the scheduled scan running on our set schedule, we can remediate any findings and check on the next schedule if issues are closed, making it much easier for us to monitor vulnerabilities."

"The solution is very easy to set up."

"The feature of vulnerability management and discovery is what I use."

"I think it's a good product for risk-based or exposure-based vulnerability management."

"The product gives us a lot of insight."

"For me, the setup has been an easy process."

"Tenable EP is a great overall product for our customers; it's great at helping customers to identify current risks, it helps customers manage their risk, users can effectively analyze risk and can assign team members to take a look at items as well, the solution is very easy to set up, technical support is very helpful and responsive, and the pricing is pretty good."

Cons

"My advice to others looking into using Seemplicity is to be aware that you will get more information from support than from the documents themselves, and it can take a bit of time after feeding in data to show meaningful results."

"For Seemplicity, I would say two things for improvement. First, reporting customization could go further because this industry is evolving; the CEO tries to get much information that they are looking for."

"Seemplicity can be improved because sometimes the rule setting can be a little complicated, and for instance, filtering out the criteria may not be useful at times, as it can be too complicated based on the business requirements."

"There are some bits on the cleanliness of dashboarding and maybe a little bit on the reporting side, but not too much improvement needed as of now."

"The capability out of the box today is decent, but over time, if we can allow users and organizations to build their own view and how they want to report on things, that would be a great value add."

"To improve Seemplicity, I would suggest having more knowledge base and more threat intel."

"Seemplicity could use more improvement around the user interface."

"Every tool, including Seemplicity, can improve, and I think it needs to further enhance its deduplication capabilities and understand how to integrate with more security tools, especially as new AI security tools emerge."

More Seemplicity cons

"There is a learning curve at the beginning, especially for teams that are quite new to a BAS or continuous validation solution."

"I would appreciate deeper integrations with security tools. AI-assisted remediations and recommendations would be helpful."

"The customer support for AttackIQ is good but can be better."

"One area for improvement is the initial configuration complexity, which is very complex in the initial stage to configure the whole thing and integrate with the SOC, presenting a learning curve for organizations that are new to adversary emulation or continuous security validation, particularly concerning the initial setup scenario customization and workflow tuning."

"The initial setup was quite difficult and took a long time."

"I rate AttackIQ an eight for now. I choose eight for the two remaining aspects that should involve process improvement and further improvements for AttackIQ."

"The initial setup was difficult. It was not straightforward."

"From a technical viewpoint regarding pricing, I've heard that the pricing point is around a couple of thousand dollars per test point, which is considered a bit high, but I understand that AttackIQ is willing to provide a better offer."

"The license needs to be reviewed."

"The product has limited reporting capabilities and it isn't great at allowing for customization in reports."

"It would be nice if the product provided an agent for enforcing policies."

"The sensor update is a challenge that Tenable needs to address. Sometimes they behave abruptly, requiring me to rework reinstalling the sensors on the endpoints."

"Tenable needs to provide a better way to manage private clouds."
