"Comprehensive tool for enterprise vulnerability management" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)? The vulnerability management module which has the risk score metrics is well aligned to what the company is trying to achieve with regard to the triaging of their security vulnerability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)? The application security side of the Kenna house is still in maturity lebvel 1 with connectors not working as expected. Given the advanced modelling of the VM module would have liked the app sec side to be aligned to the industry standards as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM): Kenna is an industry standard triaging cum threat intel tool with data visualizations to ease the monitoring and remediation of security vulnerabilities through the enterprise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) solving and how is that benefiting you? I am trying to provide the ernterpirse with triaged vulnerability commingled with threat intel such that the real vulnerabilities can be addressed first which has relevance to the real time hackers. If I am not able to provide triaged vulnearbilities the remediation program is not as effective. The risk scroing from Kenna gives a x-factor for which the remediation program can be successful and effective for the busniess. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do like the interface and the enrichment features it has over other vulnerability systems. It factors in things like CVE, CVSS, etc, but if it's not external facing, it adjusts the score down and takes other factors into account. That's really nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?

S Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 6/3/2021 "Data Modelling of the Vulnerability side" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)? I like the vulnerability side of the house for Kenna as it has good filters, and the data modeling is pretty well built, especially about the mapping it does with the source and target attributes. The filters make life very easy for people trying to get a feel of their risk meter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)? There is a lot of improvements that need to be made for the app sec side of Kenna. There are hardly any filters to visualize the data, and the data modeling is incorrect. The connectors don't work as expected. So there is a lot of corrections that need to be made for this module. I'm not too fond of the app sec module. If we can have the data modeling of app sec as the vulnerability side of the house that would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM): For organizations that use many tools and want to beef up their vulnerability management program, I would recommend using Kenna security for proper security posture representation so that better decisions can be taken concerning securing the environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) solving and how is that benefiting you? Triaging flaws is the major one and having the data visualization to people of their security risk posture is also a significant challenge Kenna has solved. Kenna Security has helped our organization a lot in letting the executives know what exactly is going on from host and network level which is helping them to make the right decisions with regard to security going forward.

Manager, Cisco Contact Center Operations Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 6/1/2021 "Ain't Nobody Got Time for That!" 5/5 What do you like best about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)? As a company, we used to use spreadsheet and sharepoint methods to handle our threat detection and remediation processes. Moving to Kenna was beneficial in so many ways: 1. we ditched the awful spreadsheets and annoying sharepoint web forms, 2. we had a fast and efficient way to filter and only see our department's devices and their threat ratings. 3. I love that I can flip from tab to tab to see specific and actionable information on what needs to be done to remediate and cuts down on my team having to research the CVE and how to address it. Needless to say I spend less time now than I did before on these tasks but feel a whole lot more secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)? Recently my Asset filter list is replete with tags and is making it hard for me to just see my departmental tags, this is an inconvenience and not a deal breaker. I will need to see how to make sure mine appear at the top of the asset filter tag list. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM): Definitely a great real time threat detection dashboard tool. I am a fan! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) solving and how is that benefiting you? My problem before was that I almost needed an additional head-count just to work with the compliance team within my organization to identify, research, remediate and then follow up with the security compliance team on the results. Now everything is contained in Kenna's cloud platform and because of the CVE definitions and remediations appearing along with the threat score, it helps us cut down on time alotted for compliance-work. In addition, because we can search by asset - we can target several CVEs with one change request - this has saved us loads of time and energy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
