Tenable Introduces Groundbreaking Visibility Across IT, OT and IoT Domains to Fully Illuminate Attack Vectors and Risks
Tenable launches Tenable One Exposure Management Platform integrating OT Security solution for comprehensive risk analysis. The platform offers visibility into IT, OT, and IoT assets, addressing cyber attack risks. It combines vulnerability coverage, threat intelligence, and data analytics to prioritize actions and reduce cyber risks.
With the integration of Tenable OT Security into Tenable One's Exposure Management Platform, organizations are now equipped to analyze risk across both enterprise and critical infrastructure environments. The significance of this integration lies in its ability to provide a unified view of vulnerabilities across IT, OT and IoT assets. This is critical as the interconnectivity of these systems has expanded the potential attack surface for cyber threats, which can originate in IT systems and propagate to OT environments, leading to significant operational disruptions.
From a cybersecurity perspective, the platform's comprehensive visibility is crucial for identifying and prioritizing security risks, including those in cloud and data center environments. The addition of OT and IoT assets into the risk analysis framework ensures that security leaders can now track and mitigate risks that were previously harder to quantify. This holistic approach is particularly relevant given recent Congressional hearings highlighting the active targeting of U.S. critical infrastructure by nation-state actors, emphasizing the need for robust cybersecurity measures that encompass all technological facets of an organization.
The release of Tenable One for OT/IoT represents a significant advancement in risk management, particularly for industries reliant on operational technology. The ability to gain actionable insights and prioritize risks across the entire attack surface enables organizations to make informed decisions that balance cybersecurity and productivity. This is especially pertinent in the context of recent advisories regarding Chinese state-sponsored cyber activities targeting U.S. infrastructure. The risk intelligence provided by Tenable One for OT/IoT is a valuable tool for preemptive threat detection and mitigation, which is essential for maintaining operational continuity in sectors such as energy, water utilities and military organizations.
Furthermore, the platform's benchmarking capabilities allow for a comparative analysis of an organization's security posture against industry standards. This feature can guide strategic planning and investment in cybersecurity, aiding in the reduction of cyber risk and enhancing overall resilience against potential disruptions.
The integration of Tenable's OT Security solution within the Tenable One platform addresses a critical gap in the protection of industrial systems. As operational technology becomes increasingly digitized and connected to IT networks, the risk of cyber-physical attacks grows. These attacks can have dire consequences, not just in terms of data breaches, but also in terms of physical damage and safety risks. The platform's ability to identify and understand attack paths is essential for securing industrial control systems and safeguarding critical infrastructure.
Given the testimony from U.S. security agencies regarding the vulnerability of critical services to hacking campaigns, the need for specialized OT security solutions has never been more apparent. The Tenable One for OT/IoT platform's focus on visibility, risk intelligence and actionable planning is a proactive step toward mitigating the risks posed by sophisticated cyber threats, especially those targeting OT environments that are essential to national security and public welfare.

Tenable One Exposure Management Platform integrates Tenable OT Security solution to analyze all risk across enterprise and critical infrastructure environments, regardless of asset type
COLUMBIA, Md., Feb. 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tenable® Tenable One for OT/IoT
The convergence of physical assets and IT – such as HVAC systems in data centers, badge readers in office buildings, cameras on manufacturing floors, and many more – has resulted in a broader cyber attack surface. As IT, OT and IoT assets become increasingly interconnected, cyber attacks are often originating in IT systems and then spreading into OT environments, with potentially devastating results. Today's CISOs find themselves responsible and accountable for securing OT and IoT environments.
Tenable One for OT/IoT extends visibility beyond IT, to include OT and IoT, and helps security leaders gain a clear picture of true exposure across their entire attack surface. This first-of-its-kind approach allows organizations to prioritize security risks wherever they reside - be it in the cloud, data center, or the OT environment - and most importantly, to understand how these risks create attack paths across their infrastructure.
Users can also view their global exposure, including OT assets, to see how their security posture compares to other companies in their industry and gain additional insights from their OT assets to make better decisions, faster.
The Tenable One platform now combines the broadest vulnerability coverage spanning IT assets, cloud resources, containers, web apps, identity systems, OT and IoT assets. It builds on the deep threat intel, regulatory compliance and vulnerability expertise and data from Tenable Research, and adds data analytics to prioritize actions and reduce cyber risk, enabling:
Comprehensive visibility beyond the IT environment to the modern attack surface Risk intelligence to mitigate operational risks Actionable planning and decision making across enterprise and critical infrastructure environments “On a daily basis we witness threat actors finding creative ways to disrupt businesses through non-traditional paths. Risk doesn’t end at IT. For those that rely on physical computing technology, OT and IoT often power their most business-critical activities. Any disruption is extremely damaging and often results in an inability to function,” explained Amir Hirsh, SVP and general manager of OT Security, Tenable. “We understand that OT environments require a different approach from IT and we’ve designed our security solution so teams no longer have to choose between cybersecurity or productivity. They can have both.”
The threat to OT systems from nation-state actors was recently driven home in a U.S. Congressional hearing advisory Volt Typhoon
The Tenable One for OT/IoT license includes not only Tenable One, but a companion license of Tenable OT Security and Tenable Security Center.
