• Approach to resilience: Tenable uses health and status data to detect and address potential issues in a timely manner, thereby maintaining SLA commitments. Tenable Cloud services are replicated both within and across AWS regions. Should both instances in a region fail (or the region suffers an outage in general), the regional-failover layer (usually using dynamic DNS) will instead direct traffic to the other three regions. Failover is closest-path to the traffic origin.

Therefore, to ensure reasonable processing time for routine maintenance and other low risk change requests, and to ensure that more significant, higher impact changes receive the appropriate scrutiny and planning, the following types of changes have been established. These types have corresponding development, testing, and implementation requirements as well as specific approvals necessary to process. Classification of Change Types:; Provisioning; Configuration; Maintenance/ Upkeep; Development (existing); Development (new)
• Vulnerability management type: Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
