# Tenable and Synack # Integrating Vulnerability Management & Security Testing for Better Remediation and Patch Verification ## The Challenge Scanning identifies potential vulnerabilities but may not confirm what is exploitable. Scanning is also voluminous, making it challenging to zero in on the vulnerabilities that matter most. Security testing, meanwhile, confirms exploitability and provides detailed analysis, paths to remediation and patch verification. Security testing identifies exploitable, real-world application interactions that scanning may miss. Each is vital, but vulnerability scanning and security testing results are too often siloed. As a result, it takes too long to isolate and fix exploitable vulnerabilities. ## The Solution Synack, the leader in Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS), has partnered with cutting-edge Tenable Vulnerability Management (VM) and Web Application Scanning (WAS) to offer customers the best of both worlds—broad insights from automated scanning integrated with the deep and detailed expertise of human-led security research. Tenable Vulnerability Management and Tenable Web Application Scanning, part of Tenable One, enables customers to scan host and web resources to see if what is running on them is exposed to cyber weaknesses, such as those identified by the Common Vulnerability Exposure (CVE) catalogue and other threat intelligence. Resources may be vulnerable due to various factors, including out-of-date security updates, which Tenable reports. This automated vulnerability scanning effectively provides complete visibility into potential cyber risk across customer IT environments. | Title & Location | Status | Discovered | Last Seen | Source | Severity | Asset | CVE/CWE(s) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Apache OFBiz Forced Browsing Vulnerability 192.168.1.28 | Agent Review | 06/25/2025 | 06/25/2025 | Tenable | Critical | 192.168.1.28 | CVE-2011-2483 +7 | | Apache OFBiz Forced Browsing Vulnerability 192.168.1.28 | Not Exploitable | 06/25/2025 | 06/25/2025 | Tenable | Critical | 192.168.1.28 | CVE-2013-3918 | | Apache OFBiz Forced Browsing Vulnerability 192.168.1.28 | Synack Review | 06/25/2025 | 06/25/2025 | Tenable | Critical | 192.168.1.28 | CVE-2012-2688 | | Citrix NetScaler ADC and Gateway Buffe... 192.168.1.29 | Not Triaged | 06/25/2025 | 06/25/2025 | Tenable | High | 192.168.1.29 | CVE-2014-0160 | | Citrix NetScaler ADC and Gateway Buffe... 192.168.1.42 | Not Triaged | 06/25/2025 | 06/25/2025 | Tenable | High | 192.168.1.42 | CVE-2015-1635 | | PHP Remote Code Execution Vulnerability 192.168.1.67 | Exploitable | 06/25/2025 | 06/25/2025 | Tenable | High | 192.168.1.67 | CVE-2016-0800 | ## Benefits of the Integration • Improves vulnerability triage to isolate exploitable vulns that matter most • Reduces noise by distinguishing vulns that aren’t accessible by bad actors • Integrates end-to-end workflows for faster remediation and patch verification • Combines the strengths of automated scanning and human-led analysis • Mimics real-world behavior of bad actors to find threats that scanning may miss • Provides access to an expert, vetted team of security testers on demand • Overcomes the static nature of traditional penetration testing • Relieves IT/security teams from time-consuming exploit & patch verification --- ## The Solution (cont.) Powered by the Synack PTaaS platform, the Synack Red Team (SRT) plus Synack Autonomous Red Agent (Sara) acts as an extension to customer IT and security teams, assisting in quick triage, isolation and remediation of the most urgent security gaps. Synack leverages context from scanning results and applies AI-assisted testing combined with human-led security researcher knowledge and experience. Synack confirms which vulnerabilities are actually exploitable in the customer’s environment, provides detailed exploit analysis, recommendations for remediation and verification of successful patching. Synack PTaaS can run continuously to quickly address security gaps that yearly compliance-driven penetration testing misses. ## About Tenable Tenable exists to expose and close priority security gaps that put businesses at risk.
