Tenable announces Unified Solution for Reducing Risk in Converged Environments

Tenable has announced a first-of-its-kind integration with Tenable.ot 3.7 and Nessus Professional to help organizations secure both IT and operational technology (OT) devices in converged environments. For the first time, customers can use a single solution - Tenable.ot - for unmatched visibility and control to secure IT assets alongside OT systems and reduce their cyber risk in converged, modern environments.

With digital transformation, cyberattacks are increasingly creeping laterally between IT and OT. The Tenable.ot 3.7 release comes on the heels of the National Security Agency (NSA) and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency's (CISA) alert AA20-205A about the targeting of critical infrastructure by exploiting internet-accessible OT assets. This expanding attack surface and new attack vectors brought by convergence, whether planned or unplanned, require a holistic OT security solution that can precisely identify, assess and protect against both IT- and OT-specific threats within an OT environment.

"Modern OT environments increasingly interconnect with IT as organizations seek to optimize costs and accelerate innovation. The result is a complex, sensitive, and vastly expanded attack surface where you cannot manage OT cyber risk discreetly," said Renaud Deraison, Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder at Tenable. "Tenable.ot 3.7 is a game-changer that gives organizations comprehensive visibility, control, and precision to manage, measure, and reduce the cyber risk of their IT assets alongside their OT systems."
