Tenable is predicting whether your attack surface can be breached during transformation

Organisations of all sizes have embraced digital transformation to create new business models and ecosystems, deliver new products and services and operate more efficiently in the digital economy. While this opens up a whole new world of opportunities, it also creates a new attack surface to defend. And it’s exploding.

Digital transformation has led to an explosion of new technologies, connected devices and computing platforms. From IT to cloud to IoT to OT, this complex computing landscape is the modern attack surface. The tools and processes of yesterday are being used to solve today’s problems – built and designed for the old era of IT when the attack surface was a static laptop, desktop or on-premises server.

As a result, organisations struggle at every step – seeing their assets, detecting weaknesses, prioritising issues for remediation, measuring risk, and comparing to peers. The digital era requires a new approach.

The Tenable Cyber Exposure platform is a solution to holistically assess, manage and measure cyber risk across the entire modern attack surface. The platform uniquely provides the breadth of visibility into cyber risk across IT, cloud, IoT and OT environments and the depth of analytics to measure and communicate cyber risk in business terms to make better strategic decisions.

Tenable enables customers to not only automatically detect every asset across their computing environments, but also assess them for vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. Predictive prioritisation innovation analyses Tenable vulnerability data combined with third-party vulnerability data, threat intelligence and vendor security advisories using data science to predict the likelihood a vulnerability will be exploited in the near future.

The resulting Vulnerability Priority Rating scores are dynamic and change with the threat landscape, arming security teams with actionable insight into their true level of business risk.

Tenable, is a cyber exposure company. Over 27,000 organisations around the globe rely on Tenable to understand and reduce cyber risk. As the creator of Nessus, Tenable extended its expertise in vulnerabilities to deliver the world’s first platform to see and secure any digital asset on any computing platform.
