Deepinfo vs. Tenable.
Tenable is the established vulnerability-management standard, with EASM offered as a more recent add-on stitched onto the CVE-management product. Deepinfo is built EASM-first on an internet-scale dataset, where vulnerability data is one signal among many. Tenable users typically already have CVE management and need broader external visibility, Deepinfo adds the surface that Tenable doesn't see.
EASM-first vs. EASM bolted onto VM.
Tenable's core product is internal vulnerability management, anchored on Nessus and the agent-and-scanner model. Tenable's EASM offering is comparatively recent and sits as an add-on on the same commercial license. The architecture is VM-first; the external surface is a satellite capability.
Deepinfo is built the other way. The external surface is the primary product, anchored on an indexed internet-scale dataset. Vulnerability findings are one signal correlated with assets we've already discovered, not the engine that defines the platform. Most enterprises evaluating both already have Tenable for internal VM and need Deepinfo for the external picture Tenable doesn't see.
Four places Deepinfo extends past CVE-driven EASM.
Internet-scale discovery, not VM-anchored discovery.
Tenable's EASM discovery is anchored to the assets reachable from their VM scanning model. Deepinfo discovers across the open internet from the dataset side: 400M+ domains, 2B+ subdomains discovered through passive DNS, certificate transparency, active scanning, and web crawling. Subsidiaries, M&A inheritance, forgotten staging environments, assets your VM tooling never had a seed for.
CTI, BRP, and TPRM in the same platform.
Tenable is VM plus EASM. Deepinfo runs Cyber Threat Intelligence, Brand Risk Protection, and Third-Party Risk Management as integrated modules sharing the same dataset. Cross-module correlation, an IOC tied to a specific external asset, a lookalike domain tied to a specific threat actor, a vendor exposure tied to a specific external surface, is built in.
Vulnerability ranking by exploitation signal, not just CVSS.
Tenable surfaces CVEs with CVSS severity scoring. Deepinfo enriches every CVE with EPSS exploit-prediction and CISA KEV active-exploitation flags, out of the box. The queue is ordered by what's actually being exploited, not by theoretical severity. For SOC and vulnerability-management teams already drowning in CVSS-9 backlogs, the prioritization framing is the difference.
Direct dataset access for engineering teams.
Deepinfo exposes the dataset as Data Feeds and APIs your engineering team can build with directly. Bulk feeds for analytical workloads, real-time streams for low-latency workflows, queryable APIs for operational integration. Tenable's offering is anchored to portal-based consumption and SIEM connectors; raw dataset access isn't the architecture.
Tenable is the internal VM standard.
Tenable's vulnerability management, Nessus, agents, internal scanners, the entire VM operational model, is mature, well-instrumented, and the de-facto standard in many regulated industries. If your primary use case is internal asset vulnerability scanning at scale, Tenable's position is hard to displace and Deepinfo doesn't try to.
For external visibility, the assets your internal scanners never see, the CTI signal tied to your surface, the brand-impersonation infrastructure outside your perimeter, Deepinfo is the layer Tenable doesn't cover. Most enterprises evaluating both end up running Tenable for internal VM and Deepinfo for external CTEM, complementarily.
