## Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) Reviews
  ### 1. I am a currently a Cybersecurity Architect. I have a total experience of almost 16 years.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Rohit V. | Cybersecurity Architect, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 09, 2021

**What do you like best about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

The analytics part of Kenna security is reasonably practical and helpful.

**What do you dislike about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

Some of our users have suggested that the screens can be more user friendly

**What problems is Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Kenna is very helpful in managing the security of different kinds of devices and systems. The analytics part is perfect for us in understanding the level of focus required

  ### 2. Informative software and helpful staff

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Telecommunications | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 19, 2022

**What do you like best about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

In addition to the expected ease of use and clarity of information, the willingness and helpfulness of the staff is greatly appreciated.

**What do you dislike about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

Sometimes it takes a long time for any technical resolutions.

**What problems is Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The main problem is being able to log into two Kenna instances that exist within a single Kenna implementation. Because of the 2 instances, the same userID cannot be utilized, creating SSO issues.

  ### 3. Kenna does many things well but didn't suit our needs

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tim W. | Risk Analyst, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 12, 2021

**What do you like best about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

I really like the risk reporting and the ingestion of threat intelligence. I also like the integrations. The ability to link directly to the Risk Meters is nice and helps when sharing data with engineers. I also like the child risk meters aspect.

**What do you dislike about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

I did not like how limiting the dashboard features were. I also do not like how they treat vulnerabilities as actionable items rather than fixes. It doesn't do any good to inflate an issue that has one fix with multiple hits. Also JIRA integration doesn't work for us. Another issue is that Kenna is not certified to hold FedRAMP or DoD IL4 data so we have multiple processes for dealing with data that isn't able to go into this system.

**Recommendations to others considering Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM):**

Make sure tagging is correct.

**What problems is Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Automation is the best aspect. Data is aggregated already. This also helps with us no longer having to sign into mutliple tenable accounts to access the data. All of it is available in one location. When I'm doing reporting I use the "Link to this view" option to change my hyperlinks to instantly go to this view.

  ### 4. User interface require some time to learn

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Hardware | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**What do you like best about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

very detailed oriented. It's easy to gather all the information needed

**What do you dislike about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

The export feature is not very useful. You can only export in csv format which is not great if you are trying to export all the fixes for a particular machine.

**What problems is Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use kenna to scan for vulnerabilities and easily find the remedies for those.

  ### 5. Unique Security tool with tons of features

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Satheesh Kumar K. | Information Security Specialist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**What do you dislike about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

Sometimes needs to work with Kenna Engineers to add KBs, which will not be available in Kenna's KB.

The Risk Score shows low irrespective of actual exposure to exploit a critical vulnerability. for examle, a High-High vulnerability may be shown with a risk score below 50 due to AI risk calculation

**Recommendations to others considering Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM):**

If you are looking for a Vulnerability Monitor and reporting tool, then Kenna Security is the best tool that you need to work with as it comes with different unique features with lots of AI reporting and Dashboards.

Kenna List the devices with same CVE and provide top fixes by splitting them into Groups. It also helps to show what will be the overall risk reduction if specific Group vulnerabilities are addressed.

The Dashboard view which let you to focus on different department vulneranabilities to decide which one needs to be patched first. 

The tool can be integrated with Qualys which means uou wil have vendor ID or QID to check and fetch the targeted vulnerabilities. 

using Kenna You can also filter out the vulnerabilities based on multiple Kenna Syntax that readily available . For example, If I need to filter our the vulnerability for Adobe, I can just use the syntax "cve_description:"adobe" which show all active/closed vulnerabilities.

you can also tag the assets based on your requirements to simplify the search which is great additional feature. 

 the Risk trend score also help you to see the vulnerabilities trend over time and will help you to decide when and why the Risk Score went up and Down. 

 The tool also helps to see Exploits available,Top Priority,Active Net Breaches,Easily Exploitable etc.,

The fact that it offers a small description of the problem and offers potential solutions.  It also lists the exploits in order of severity.

**Reviewed Date:** November 17, 2020

**What do you like best about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

The Dashboard, ability to view all security vulnerabilities in one holistic view. Integration with Qualys and Service now is a plus.  We were able to leverage Kenna to reduce severe vulnerabilities across the organization within months.

**What do you dislike about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

Not particularly in any order:
Licensing cost
Learning curve
Initial time of investment
Installation and configuration

The learning curve was the biggest one for me.  It will definitely take some time to get familiar with the interface and navigation within the KennaSecurity interface.

**Recommendations to others considering Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM):**

If you want to have an easy and a better visual of your environment's vulnerabilities, Kenna would meet your needs. Please take note that it need to be coupled with a Vulnerability scanner. It's only a vulnerability management platform, not a scanner.

**What problems is Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Easy patching per higher risk vulnerabilities, specific/targeted vulnerabilities like EOL apps. By targeting those individual vulnerabilities, we make sure that our environment is well handled on that specific item.

Great solution overall! The natural language processing capabilities, along with predictive modeling and other data science techniques to assess, prioritize, and even predict risk, gives the security team (specially DevSecOps) a new visibility perspective with a high accuracy rate. That is external and internal data into one unfied view of risk.

**What do you dislike about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

I think the graphical interface needs some adjustments, but with Cisco acquisition, that will definitely change at any time soon.

  ### 21. Kenna Security - Vulnerability Risk Intelligence for All

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 13, 2021

**What do you like best about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

The dashboard syncs really well with the scanner for on-premise infrastructure. Organization can use this across the IT landscape for vulnerability risk intelligence as well and configuration reviews. The sub-groups can be created basis various options such as hostnames, ip addresses to name a few. The nesting feature is also great though I would love if the feature could be more robust in terms of speed. The recommendation of fixes is also pretty valid with details of the CVE.

**What do you dislike about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

- The response to a search query could be a tad slow at-times.
- A little more elasticity will really save a lot of time.
- Creation of multiple nested groups slows the response time
- Sync speed of scanner with dashboard can be increased

**Recommendations to others considering Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM):**

- Reach out to these folks they are open and humble company to do business with. They will be helping with implementation, feature developments and multiple minute things which can really ease lives of your IT teams.

**What problems is Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

- Reduced Vulnerability Exposure
- Better Configuration Checks
- Daily tracking of the landscape and ZERO day risks
- Better prepared for the external attacks

  ### 22. Kenna is easy to use and helpful to track your vulnerabilities

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 23, 2020

**What do you like best about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

Among multiple features, Kenna provides you with solutions to group up vulnerabilities which helps to minimize the impact and the task force applied to fix most of them. Looking to a total of vulnerabilities can sometimes be scary but when you get to visualize them on groups and how applying one or two patches could fix thousands of vulnerabilities at the same time is easy to understand how the tool adds to vulnerability management. Reports are easy to use, and queries can be created to simplify and extract the best resolution for each software or system you need to work on.

**What do you dislike about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

Reports can be improved to provide more information; email alerts don't bring any summary information; improve the dashboard system to allow multiple information with different graphics, e.g. last 30 days discovered vulnerabilities, vulnerabilities per OS, per month, per group, etc.

**What problems is Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Kenna helps to identify and track vulnerabilities on a daily basis. Through fix recommendation, we can aim to solve the most critical vulnerabilities or most impacted environment.

Consolidation of risk and vulnerabilities from different source of security tools.

**What do you dislike about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

Vulnerabilities that are informational without CVEs have a 0 scoring.

**What problems is Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Security posture of an organization can be viewed from Kenna. Prioritization of remediation effort can be done in a fast manner.  Kenna is able to consolidate and integrate several tools on a single platform view.

I really enjoy the ability to quickly pull aggregated vulnerability scans into dashboards. They really give visibility to sponsors/management.

**What do you dislike about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

The initial setup within our environment was a bit tricky. We have a lot of security around what we do so there can be some trickiness to setting things up (granting permissions, pointing to 'whitelisted' data resources, etc.)

**What problems is Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are mostly trying to solve visibility issues with regards to scans.

  ### 26. nice product when it works and if you don't need customer support

the product does a good job identify and categorizing vulnerability data

**What do you dislike about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

customer service is completely horrid - completely unresponsive

**Recommendations to others considering Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM):**

One should consider the level of customer support for SaS such as Kenna - if you can't see what is behind the website, it makes troubleshooting on your own very difficult.

**What problems is Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

vulnerability prioritization - this is usful to keep operations teams moving forward to progress the VM program

**Official Response from Stacy Mezzetta De Cossio:**

> Dear Kenna Customer. I noted that last year you expressed in a review of Kenna   https://www.g2.com/products/kenna-security/reviews/kenna-security-review-4776530
that customer support was not satisfactory. I wanted to understand if your experience over the last 12 months has improved. If so, I'd like to ask if you would consider writing another review indicating improvement. If not, would you be open to sharing your name and email particulars to see if we can help address your issues?

**What do you like best about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

Kenna is a great tool for maintaining the security of the organization by identifying vulnerabilities in terms of security. This tool shows me the top actions we can do to reduce risk.

It protects all of my organization's data from cybercrime when everyone is working from home in the event of this epidemic COVID. For those who are the best network security platform who are concerned about their data security. Every organization must have this to protect the network from cyber-attacks.

**What problems is Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is an enterprise-grade security system that protects our device from all current and future threats. The reports given are very accurate and subjective.

**What do you dislike about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

View configuration can become a reason for concern at times. While Kenna Security is a great tool to detect vulnerabilities, however, it does not provide users with any feature to fix those vulnerabilities, which indeed can become frustrating at times. Apart from that it rarely leaves any space for complaints.

**Recommendations to others considering Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM):**

Kenna Security has been used widely in our organization and it's really a great experience of using it.

**What problems is Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Kenna Security overall is a pretty well-versed and well-organized application. It provides users with every feature needed to ensure complete security. Also, easy customization makes it even better, since it can be modified as the users wish. Reports delivered by the Kenna Security application are accurate. AES-256 system is used by the Kenna Security software for data encryption. It provides Kenna Security scores along with CVSS scores to detect the impact of the vulnerability. Kenna Security app has made device protection easier than ever. It is a very easy-to-use application.

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Francisco R. | Application Security Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 12, 2021

**What do you like best about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

Good product - versatile;  potential holistic view of Risk

**What do you dislike about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

Several bugs have been identified which need resolution (slow response).  Integrations with vendors are not what's advertised.

**What problems is Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Risk Management reporting

  ### 30. Great tool to help prioritize and report on vulnerability data

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Brandon T. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2020

**What do you like best about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

We like the ability to view vulnerability data that is useful for our organization based off of real life scenarios. This helps us put a prioritization when remediating vulnerabilities.

**What do you dislike about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

The pull of data takes a long time to run, usually a day. If we could shorten that time, we could possibly get more up to date data.

**Recommendations to others considering Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM):**

Kenna can be a useful tool if you take the time to configure it right. Having a planned strategy and vulnerability management program before implementation will help guide how Kenna will be used.

**What problems is Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are able to remediate high risk vulnerabilities based off of actively exploitable vulnerabilities or vulnerabilities that are higher risk in our environment.

  ### 31. It's a good product

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Insurance | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 16, 2021

**What do you like best about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

The product works well and has a lot of data in it

**What do you dislike about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

The UI can be pretty confusing, so it can take longer to find things than you would hope.

**What problems is Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Kenna helps keep involved with the industry trends.

  ### 32. Kenna Security - Vulnerability Prioritization

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 11, 2020

**What do you like best about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

I like the easy to read visualizations showing the highest risk vulnerabilities and how to remediate those vulnerabilities. The easy to read reports and drill down on specific assets associated to the vulnerabilities, gathered from our scanner data and combined with our CMDB allows the teams within my company to take action against the highest risks to company assets.

**What do you dislike about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

I dislike the lack of customization in the Kenna provided graphs/filters. When using the tool, it has some limitations on features to make it work as good (or better) than excel (e.g. data validation for inputs on custom fields). Kenna also lacks in role permission features, and has some UI to flush out (e.g. scroll bars within scroll bars). Although, I can live with this for now, I have relayed this feedback to our Kenna support team and I believe will it be added/fixed with time as the product matures.

**Recommendations to others considering Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM):**

Our company purchased the platinum support, which has helped tremendously in setting up Kenna and getting the product set up to be implemented successfully within our organization. They also held user training sessions to help our teams learn how to best use Kenna.

**What problems is Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am using Kenna to help prioritize vulnerabilities and the associated patches based on the specific vulnerability's risk, rather than focusing on a number or quantity of fixes. Within in the scope of what is scanned for vulnerabilities, my team interacts with many different teams to disseminate the vulnerability reports. Before Kenna, these reports were in Microsoft Excel format, which can become cumbersome and also forces the reader of the reports to do further analysis to understand the risk and associated patches. With a limited amount of resources, this tasks can be daunting and time-consuming. With Kenna, the visualizations are made easy and our teams are focusing on the highest risk, rather than a large quantity of vulnerabilities, which may not result in any risk remediation!

  ### 33. Great tool.

  ### 34. One stop vulnerability center

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Adi B. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 28, 2020

**What do you like best about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

Keena security provides a one way stop shop to view and identify vulnerabilities with an application. I like that it includes to the CVE number to help better understand the issue identified. The "Fix" tab is awesome as you can see what changes need to be done to address the vulnerability. For folks not on a PaaS platform and still using IaaS it means you see both system and application exploits giving you a complete overview of issues.

The vulnerability history is a good way to see how the application is being managed and identify time to fix vulnerability from the time of identification.

**What do you dislike about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

Would like a step by step guide in "Fix" tab.

**What problems is Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

**Reviewed by:** Jacob G. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 16, 2020

**What do you like best about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

I like that way that it links back to our scanner Qualys so we don't feel out of touch from where our results are coming from. The UI is overall decent and does a good job of representing the risk score. My favorite feature is the ability to get the solutions and create service requests right from the platform.

**What do you dislike about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

My only dislike is the lack of explanation at times with how the score came about, it can be confusing at times to justify such a high risk score.

I would definitely take a look at Kenna if you are in the market, they make it nice and easy.

**What problems is Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

**Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2020

**What do you like best about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

Kenna brings it all together to a single portal where you can access the risks and vulnerabilities for all the assets. It got different formats for representing the vulnerabilities tieing up with the risk score which will help management and executives for their easy understanding.

**What do you dislike about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

Score calculation is little confusing. It would be nice to have an easy and transparent process for the variance in score with respect to vulnerabilities.

**What problems is Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

using it mostly for finding and fixing the vulnerabilities.. It makes it easier to know the vulnerability, access the risk and understand the fix to solve the vulnerability. Main benefit to to keep the environment safe without any vulnerabilities.

**Reviewed by:** Shailesh S. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 12, 2020

**What do you like best about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

Kenna Security assures complete risk protection from any sort of online threat. Risk prioritization helps to build up a protection system based upon the impact of the vulnerabilities. Reports provided by the Kenna Security application, along with Kenna Security scores with other measurements, help toward risk mitigation. It uses AES-256 for encryption of data at rest.

  ### 47. Best platform for management of vulnerability testing.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Vijay K. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 01, 2020

**What do you like best about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

Easy integration and deployment process puts the users at ease. It is a cloud-based platform, therefore simultaneous workflow is ensured. The vulnerability scan feature is incredible indeed. It scans data that has big analytics and from multiple exploits feeds to predict the accurate result in case the vulnerability is exploited. It provides error-free risk prioritization, which is commendable. Otherwise, it would have been a bit difficult to rely upon it completely.
CVSS scores, along with Kenna Security scores are provided for an extra detailed and analytical report. It also takes into account CVE and CWE. AES-256 system is used for data encryption on the platform.

**What do you dislike about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

When it comes to detecting vulnerabilities, Kenna Security aces it. However, it will be great to have some features integrate to fix the vulnerabilities as well. It can turn out to be a bit perplexing. A more intuitive fixing procedure will surely be the best upgrade.

**Recommendations to others considering Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM):**

For those, who are looking for best network security platform, I would really suggest them to use it as I got a great experience.

**What problems is Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Since with changing norms businesses are going online, more and more, it has become all the way more important to prioritise the security of the device along with the data and information put up on the internet. Kenna Security is doing a great job in hunting down those vulnerabilities and rarely leaves any space for complaint in that sphere. Price-worthy and very efficient software.

  ### 48. Kenna works

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 10, 2020

**What do you like best about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

As an application developer/architect, I don't have time to think about security. Kenna created intuitive reports with CVEs and mitigation steps for us to get our score back into the safety zone.

**What do you dislike about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

I am not fond of the design of the search. In an organization with hundreds of thousands of endpoints, each with potentially hundreds of tags, putting together a search becomes a task in and of itself. I would recommend updating the search capability to have some fuzzy logic around the most common searches ( example: xyz.test.com or an IP address should take you to the proper endpoint )

**Recommendations to others considering Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM):**

Try it out! Just one endpoint scan will make you see the value in this product

**What problems is Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Kenna Security has our team chasing down patches we didn't know we needed to chase down. It is really putting us into a security mindset with the endpoint scoring ( "we gotta keep our points down!" )

  ### 49. Impressive security software to prevent cyber risk.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ankur K. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 20, 2020

**What do you like best about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

Since the rising use of online services, the devices are becoming more prone to the cyber threat. It is not possible to run security checks for every other app and feature available on the device. Therefore, the Kenna Security software lifesaving. The platform is cloud-based and is specifically designed to accumulate elaborated and error-free risk prioritization and deliver to the users. It provides a detailed list of all the vulnerabilities including CVE or CWE, as assigned. It also considers CVSS scores and Kenna security scores are provided as well. The platform uses AES-256 to encrypt user’s data and passwords are kept in a one-way salted hash, which is a good practice.

**What do you dislike about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

Even though it is good that the platform is cloud-based, however, it makes the views at certain times less configurable. So, there indeed is some room for improvisation.

**Recommendations to others considering Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM):**

A best vulnerability management tool to prevent hacking attacks in a company. Every organization must have this to prevent cyber attacks.

**What problems is Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

While dealing with sensitive information, it becomes all the way more important to invest in a decent security service software. Kenna Security is great at its job but also very user friendly which means a great deal to new users. The reports delivered are very accurate and subjective. The classification procedure based on the impact of the threat is great. The software is reliable when it comes to identifying, prioritizing and giving out remediation of threats.

  ### 50. Secure your most valuable data.

**Reviewed by:** Shubham G. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 14, 2020

**What do you like best about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

Kenna Security ultimate secure network which we are using across whole organization. It's a complete network solution which does not require manual configuration. Kenna  has highest levels of encryption which secure our data  over any network. Many Wifi hot spots have security breach issue due to no form of encryption, as they use weaker encryption protocol. Kenna protects data by secure data passing over any network with 256-bit bank-level encryption so that we can do our office work over Wifi with High security and worry free.

**What do you dislike about Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM)?**

Kenna secure access to all internal and cloud-based resources.The best thing is that it is very easy to install and secure my data as it is compatible with  Windows, Mac, iPhone, Android and Chrome. I never find any cons which I need to share. I love it always to use.

**Recommendations to others considering Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM):**

It has Cost-Effective Delivery with  High Scalability  and Unlimited Bandwidth with Reduced Latency. I would surely love to recommend and suggest it to others. Being as a user, I find a great support and relation with Kenna. In future also, I would love to be a customer of it.

**What problems is Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Kenna has DNS Filtering features which secure my network from unknown untrusted URL or networks. We being as an employee, are  not aware about  the risks of using  Wi-Fi hotspots, Untrusted URL etc. Kenna helps to secure important email, credential that we are using in our business work. VPN service get  disconnect when device is not used for long time.
It is fast, simple and scalable solutions to Eliminate the threat of unsecured networks.
