LevelBlue has expanded its partnership with Tenable to provide unlimited enterprise-grade vulnerability scanning across its Unified Security Management (USM) platform, making the capability available to all USM customers at no additional cost.
The move integrates Tenable’s vulnerability scanning and risk analytics directly into the LevelBlue USM platform, enabling continuous discovery and assessment of security weaknesses across on-premises, cloud and hybrid environments. The integration removes the need for separate vulnerability management tools or additional contracts, addressing a common challenge for organisations struggling with fragmented visibility and rising security costs.
Vulnerability management remains a core requirement for effective cyber defence, yet many organisations limit scan coverage due to licensing constraints or operational complexity. By embedding scanning at the platform level, LevelBlue aims to provide consistent visibility across enterprise environments without usage caps.
According to LevelBlue, the integration allows vulnerability data to be correlated with existing detection and response telemetry, helping security teams prioritise remediation based on exploit activity and asset criticality rather than raw vulnerability counts. The platform also supports automated remediation workflows through IT service management and security operations integrations, enabling organisations to track progress and demonstrate risk reduction over time.
Michael Vaughn, Director of Product Management at LevelBlue, said the expanded partnership reflects a shift toward making foundational security controls more accessible as part of managed services, rather than treating them as optional add-ons.
For managed security partners, the inclusion of Tenable scanning within the USM platform also enables broader vulnerability coverage for downstream customers without increasing operational overhead. This approach allows service providers to deliver vulnerability and exposure management as part of a unified security service.
The integration supports a broader transition from standalone vulnerability scanning toward exposure management, where technical findings are contextualised with threat intelligence, asset value and live security events to support faster, more targeted decision-making.
