Last year, we had an unprecedented support and sponsorship for the Louisville Metro InfoSec Conference!

Sponsorship of the Louisville Metro InfoSec Conference is a great idea!  Our conference has become a nationally-known event and a big draw across the Kentuckiana and around the Midwest.  Last year we had 375 attendees, top-shelf Keynote Speakers and well-attended Breakout Sessions. Our attendees enjoy visiting the Sponsor Booths, seeing the cutting-edge technology and services available to them.

Tenable Network Security is a privately held company founded in 2002 by security product innovators Ron Gula, Renaud Deraison and Jack Huffard and joined by Tenable CSO Marcus Ranum.

Tenable's technical leaders have all created market leading and award winning products individually (Nessus, Dragon IDS, Gauntlet Firewall, TIS firewall tool kit) prior to joining forces at Tenable to develop a Unified Security Monitoring™ approach based on the award-winning Nessus® scanner engine.

Tenable’s strong portfolio of premium point products are tightly integrated in to the Unified Security Monitoring suite. Tenable’s SecurityCenter provides continuous, asset-based security and compliance monitoring that unifies the process of asset discovery, vulnerability detection, data leakage detection, event management and configuration auditing for small and large enterprises.

Tenable’s Nessus vulnerability scanner is the world-leader in active scanners, featuring high-speed discovery, asset profiling and vulnerability analysis of the organization’s security posture.

Tenable’s Log Correlation Engine (LCE) aggregates, normalizes, correlates and analyzes event log data from the myriad of devices within the infrastructure. The Log Correlation Engine is closely integrated with the Security Center to centralize log analysis and vulnerability management and can integrate and correlate data from third party IDS sources.

Tenable’s Passive Vulnerability Scanner (PVS) is a network discovery and vulnerability analysis software solution, that delivers real-time network profiling and monitoring for continuous assessment of an organization’s security posture in a non-intrusive manner. Where an active scanner takes a snapshot of the network in time, the PVS behaves like a security motion detector on the network.
