PRESS RELEASE
COLUMBIA, Maryland (February 29, 2024) — Tenable®the exhibition management company, today announced the release of
Tenable One for OT/IoT. It is the first and only exposure management platform that provides holistic visibility of assets across IT and operational technology (OT) environments.
The convergence of physical and IT assets, such as HVAC systems in data centers, badge readers in offices, cameras in manufacturing plants, and more, has led to a larger cyber attack surface. As IT, OT and IoT resources become increasingly interconnected, cyber attacks often originate in IT systems and then spread 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 get a clear picture of true exposure across the entire attack surface. This first-of-its-kind approach allows organizations to prioritize security risks wherever they reside – whether in the cloud, data center or OT environment – and, importantly, understand how these risks create attack paths through their infrastructure .
Users can also view their global exposure, including OT assets, to compare their security posture 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 assets, containers, web apps, identity systems, OT and IoT assets. It draws on Tenable Research’s threat intelligence, regulatory compliance, expertise and vulnerability data and adds data analytics to prioritize actions and reduce cyber risk, enabling:
-
Complete visibility beyond the IT environment to the modern attack surface
-
Risk intelligence to mitigate operational risks
-
Actionable planning and decision making in business environments and critical infrastructure
“Every day we see threat actors finding creative ways to disrupt businesses through non-traditional routes. The risk is not limited to IT. For those who rely on physical information technology, OT and IoT often power the most business-critical activities. Any disruption is extremely harmful and often results in the inability to function,” explained Amir Hirsh, SVP and general manager of OT Security, Tenable. “We understand that OT environments require a different approach than IT, and we have designed our security solution so that teams no longer have to choose between cybersecurity or productivity. They can have both.”
The threat to OT systems from state actors was recently highlighted in a US Congress hearing in which top leaders from the Cyber and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the FBI, the Office of the National Cyber Director (ONCD), and the National Security Agency (NSA) testified that U.S. electrical systems, Water utilities, military organizations and other critical utilities are actively targeted by Chinese hacking campaigns. Next, an international consultative confirmed it Volt Typhoon – a PRC-sponsored threat actor – has pre-positioned itself on US IT networks to enable lateral movement to OT assets and disrupt functions.
The Tenable One for OT/IoT license includes not only Tenable One, but also a companion license of Tenable OT Security and Tenable Security Center.
