TE TENB Tenable Holdings, Inc. Loading... : Bullish and Bearish Analyst Opinions

A structural shift in cybersecurity is underway from identity-based attacks to vulnerability exploitation, as AI massively lowers the cost of finding code vulnerabilities. Tenable is the leader in exposure management, with a platform that scans assets, identifies critical vulnerabilities, and helps fix them. Trading at 4x EV/sales vs CrowdStrike and Palo Alto at 20x, Tenable's growth is poised to accelerate.

Multiple financial institutions have issued updates to their price targets for a wide range of publicly traded companies across various sectors today.
