Cisco Vulnerability Management

Santa Clara, California, United States Cybersecurity Acquired

Cisco Vulnerability Management, formerly Kenna Security, is a risk-based vulnerability management platform that uses machine learning and data science to prioritize, identify and remediate cyber risks based on real-world threat intelligence. The platform helps security and IT teams focus remediation efforts on the vulnerabilities that pose the greatest risk to their specific environment, drawing on a corpus of billions of managed vulnerabilities. Founded in 2010 in Chicago as Risk I/O by Ed Bellis and Jeff Heuer, the company rebranded to Kenna Security and was acquired by Cisco in 2021, where its technology was integrated into the Cisco SecureX platform and rebranded as Cisco Vulnerability Management.
