DIFFERENCIATORS
Where Hackuity stands apart.
01
Built for your whole security stack
Connect findings from 130+ security tools, including Qualys, Tenable, Rapid7 and CrowdStrike. Hackuity normalizes everything into one place, without favoring one scanner or ecosystem.
02
Know exactly why something is critical
Every True Risk Score is explainable. See the threat signals, asset context and business weight behind it. Your team can understand, defend and tune every priority.
03
Turn priorities into remediation
Finding vulnerabilities isn't the hard part. Fixing them is. Hackuity routes vulnerabilities to the right owners, syncs with ITSM tools, tracks SLAs and proves remediation.
04
Your data. Your deployment.
Choose EU SaaS, hybrid or fully on-premise. Keep vulnerability data where you need it, with deployment options built for European security and regulatory requirements.
05
Deep integrations, not just connectors
Hackuity doesn't just ingest findings. It connects vulnerability data with assets, threat intelligence and remediation workflows, so teams can act from one place.
130+ INTEGRATIONS
Keep your scanners. Add the operating layer.
Hackuity is designed to work with your existing scanners, cloud tools, asset inventories, threat intelligence feeds, and ITSM workflows. Instead of replacing your stack, Hackuity connects it, normalizes it, and turns fragmented findings into operational action.

SCENARIOS
When teams choose Hackuity
SCENARIO 01
From Nucleus-centric VM to vendor-neutral CTEM
Nucleus is a capable vulnerability management platform. But if your stack includes tools beyond what Nucleus natively integrates, coverage gaps appear. Hackuity normalizes findings from every tool, 130+ connectors, no scanner bias, into one exposure view, and adds the CTEM operating model Nucleus does not provide.
SCENARIO 02
Building a Vulnerability Operations Center on top of Nucleus
Nucleus tells you what's vulnerable and surfaces risk priorities. It doesn't route ownership, enforce SLAs, or prove remediation progress to your board. Hackuity turns findings into a structured operational program, from triage to closure to reporting.
SCENARIO 03
Delivering managed vulnerability services at scale
Nucleus targets MSSPs but is not purpose-built for multi-tenant service delivery. Hackuity is designed for it from day one: isolated client environments, per-client reporting, and a scalable VOC model that grows with your practice without adding operational overhead.

FAQ
Questions buyers ask when comparing platforms
Does Hackuity replace Tenable?
No, and that is intentional. Tenable is one of the best discovery engines in the market. Hackuity connects to it, normalizes its findings alongside data from your other tools, and adds the prioritization and orchestration layer Tenable does not provide natively. Your Tenable investment stays intact. Hackuity makes it more actionable.
Hackuity x Tenable
How is Hackuity's risk prioritization different from Tenable's?
Tenable scores vulnerabilities based on CVSS and its own ExposureAI model. Hackuity's True Risk Score goes further: it combines threat intelligence, EPSS, CISA KEV, asset criticality, and your business context into one explainable, tunable score. Every decision is auditable. Your team knows exactly why a vulnerability was prioritized, and can challenge or adjust it at any time.
Hackuity x Tenable
Why would I choose Hackuity over Tenable One?
Tenable One is designed for organizations standardized on the Tenable ecosystem. Hackuity is a vendor-neutral Vulnerability Operations platform that aggregates findings across your entire security stack, prioritizes risk using transparent scoring, and orchestrates remediation across teams. If you use multiple scanners, cloud security tools, code security tools, or ITSM platforms, Hackuity gives you a unified view without vendor lock-in.
