Tenable’s Cyber Defender Strategies Report specifically focuses on key performance indicators (KPIs) associated with the Discover and Assess stages of the five-phase Cyber Exposure Lifecycle.

During the first phase – Discover – assets are identified and mapped for visibility across any computing environment.

The second phase – Assess – involves understanding the state of all assets, including vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and other health indicators.

Together, they decisively determine the scope and pace of subsequent phases, such as prioritisation and remediation.
