Tenable Nessus cannot detect vulnerabilities within containers. Customers must purchase Tenable.io and install the Container Security scanner in their machines to get container analysis, and users are charged based on container size.

Runecast provides best practices, vulnerability and security compliance guidelines for Kubernetes clusters and container image scanning in one single product.

Quickly identify vulnerabilities to boost your teams’ performance

Tenable Nessus provides compliance information as CVEs bundled in with all vulnerabilities, which slows down mitigation. Tenable has multiple solutions with varying levels of compliance coverage depending on the subscription value.

Runecast displays dedicated security issue information by compliance authorities in a single platform.

Minimize your attack surface by keeping configuration drift under control

Minimize your attack surface by keeping configuration drift under control

Tenable Nessus doesn’t offer visibility of the changes made on customer infrastructure. Tenable users only can enable limited drift analysis via Tenable Cloud Security.

Runecast allows users to quickly see what changes were made to their systems and who initiated them, to ensure consistency over time and cut down the exposure of their environments.

Get rid of endless reports and secure your infrastructure with one-click remediation actions

Tenable Nessus users must install and set up an agent to get a list of vulnerabilities found. Reports are unwieldy and multiple clicks are required to drill down to the required information.

Runecast automatically scans your environment for vulnerabilities. With one click, customers get instant insights into issues with custom-tailored scripts to fix the detected vulnerabilities quickly.

Five Steps to Container Security

In order to understand what container security is, we first need to fully understand what containers are. Containers usually consist of an engine and an image. The engine runs applications, with all the information required to run the application stored in the image.

Adding Image Scanning into your CI/CD Pipeline
Adding Image Scanning into your CI/CD Pipeline

CI/CD is a way of developing software where code changes are constantly integrated and delivered. It's also an integral part of leveraging "Infrastructure as a Code" - a principle used more and more due to its predictability and declarative approach. This means that code changes are integrated early and often, and that they are verified through automation to make sure that they work correctly.
