LevelBlue & Tenable Unveil Vulnerability Scanning in USM Platform

MSSP LevelBlue has announced an expanded partnership with exposure management provider Tenable to deliver unlimited, enterprise-grade vulnerability scanning for all LevelBlue Unified Security Management (USM) platform clients at no additional cost.

Setting a new standard for value in cybersecurity

The partnership embeds Tenable’s scanning and risk analytics directly into the LevelBlue USM platform, enabling clients to continuously discover and assess vulnerabilities across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments without additional contracts or standalone vendor tools.

“As a leading MDR provider, LevelBlue is proud to partner with Tenable, the exposure management leader,” said Michael Vaughn, director of product management at LevelBlue. 

“Together, we’re bringing unlimited, enterprise-grade scanning to every USM platform client at no additional cost. This sets a new standard for value in cybersecurity,” Vaughn added.

According to LevelBlue, the collaboration is designed to address common vulnerability management gaps across modern enterprises, including limited coverage, fragmented data, and the added costs of maintaining consistent visibility.

Below are the key benefits of the partnership:

• Unlimited vulnerability scanning: Included at no additional cost
• Deeper visibility: Insight into both known and unknown assets
• Faster remediation: Integrated workflows and guided best practices
• Unified security context: Correlation with LevelBlue’s detection and response capabilities
• AI-powered prioritization: Access to Tenable’s Vulnerability Priority Rating (optional)

LevelBlue argues that the free Tenable vulnerability scanning within USM offers its partners a “major competitive differentiator” in the market.

“MSSPs can now extend Tenable’s enterprise-grade scanning to their own clients through LevelBlue’s unified platform, adding measurable value without operational complexity,” the company said in an official press release.

“This partnership reinforces LevelBlue’s commitment to delivering advanced security capabilities without high costs for clients and partners,” it added.

LevelBlue’s exposure management capabilities

Alongside the LevelBlue–Tenable announcement, the MSSP emphasized its commitment to “complete” exposure management, which aims to turn raw scan results into actionable insights.

With LevelBlue, clients can:

• Correlate Tenable findings with live detection across their events
• Prioritize vulnerabilities based on exploit intelligence and asset criticality
• Automate remediation through ITSM and SecOps integrations
• Track progress and demonstrate measurable risk reduction

LevelBlue says this unified approach helps organizations strengthen resilience by identifying and closing security gaps faster — and continuously.
