A scalable tool that needs to make its setup phase easier while improving the stability it provides
The initial setup of Tenable.io Container Security is a little bit complex. If you have a bigger cluster or container environment, then the solution's deployment phase may take more than three months since you won't directly go for the solution's block mode. To start things in the solution, you will have to deploy it in SIEM mode, while the detection mode will provide you with visibility in accordance with which you need to take actions for production, which needs time. Regarding the time taken for deployment, for detection, it may not take more than a week, but in production, it may take at least three months to be completed. For the deployment process, there are some scripts available along with some YAML files that you need to run on the cluster, specifically considering the cluster you want to focus more on before creating Tenable Cloud Security Console. After creating Tenable Cloud Security Console, you can proceed with the onboarding process.

Gaining Confidence in Cloud Security with Improved Vulnerability Management
In general, I think that Upwind as a product makes a disruption in the concept of shift left; they come with a new approach by the runtime sensor that they made, making life for the AppSec team much easier. It's a good question about the best features Upwind offers, but in general, they build a great product. One feature I can think about is their very strong API, allowing us to export most of the data to crunch and work with it. To me, having a wide API to interact with the data is very important. In general, we use the API to export the asset and then compare it with our findings to improve triage, ensuring we are not missing anything. This is one of the main use cases for the API. Having access to this API changes our team's efficiency dramatically; programmability makes everyone's life much easier. The operation reduces because of the time that analysts need to spend on triaging, and it also minimizes friction with developers, which is something Upwind helps us with. Upwind positively impacts our organization overall by helping with the CIS benchmark for Kubernetes, which is definitely one of the strongest parts. Second, by reducing the number of vulnerabilities, we automatically reduce the number of tickets opened with the dev team, which is a big win. It also helps us to tune our vulnerability program better regarding classification and priority.
