Tenable has announced plans to acquire Vulcan Cyber for approximately $150 million, comprising $147 million in cash and $3 million in stock. The deal, which is expected to close in the first quarter of 2025, will significantly strengthen Tenable’s exposure management platform. Vulcan’s solutions will enhance Tenable’s ability to consolidate security exposures, prioritize risks, and streamline remediation efforts, thus providing a more comprehensive view of customers’ cyber risk environments.
Vulcan’s integration will allow Tenable to offer improved capabilities, including AI-powered risk prioritization and automated remediation workflows.
This will optimize security processes by enabling security teams to better manage third-party data flows and tackle vulnerabilities more efficiently. The acquisition will further bolster Tenable’s platform by incorporating advanced tagging, ticketing, and corrective guidance to enhance overall security operations.
Mark Thurmond, co-CEO and COO of Tenable, emphasized that this acquisition is a fundamental shift in how organizations will manage cyber risks in the future. By integrating various security tools and data, Tenable aims to offer a unified approach to exposure management, allowing security teams to make more informed decisions about how to address vulnerabilities. This holistic approach will amplify the effectiveness of cloud security platforms and provide more decisive action against cyber threats.
This acquisition follows Tenable’s previous purchase of Eureka Security for nearly $30 million in 2024, further reinforcing its commitment to strengthening its cybersecurity offerings. As the cybersecurity landscape continues to evolve, Tenable’s expanding portfolio aims to provide organizations with the tools they need to stay ahead of emerging threats and enhance their overall cyber resilience.
