Tenable, the cyber exposure company, has announced new Tenable Lumin capabilities to predict and address cyber risk across dynamic environments
The latest enhancements to the cyber exposure management platform allow organisations to predict which vulnerabilities pose the greatest business risk and to act confidently to effectively reduce risk across their modern, distributed environments.
As the performance of our global economy increasingly depends on the uptime and security of digital infrastructure, cyber risk has become inherent to business risk. But the modern attack surface has expanded with new assets, from cloud to IoT to operational technology, and CISOs struggle to understand their true level of exposure and address risk based on business priorities.
The following capabilities will help CISOs and their security teams address the challenges of managing, measuring and minimising cyber risk in modern environments:
Remediation Maturity helps security teams measure their speed and effectiveness in addressing vulnerabilities and compares them against external peers and best practices. Remediation Maturity is currently generally available in Tenable Lumin.
Mitigations assess the safety team’s response to critical risks when timely remediation is not possible. It provides an inventory of end-point security controls to provide a more complete and accurate picture of an organisation’s cyber exposure. This capability will be available in Tenable Lumin in Q4 2020.
Predictive Scoring provides a more accurate and comprehensive insight into the overall cyber exposure of the organisation. Predictive Score infers the exposure scores of groups of assets before they have been assessed in detail. This capability leverages the data lake of similar assets and the criticality of vulnerabilities found on these devices, helping security teams to identify and improve visibility of potential high-risk areas. Predictive Scoring will be available in Tenable Lumin later in Q4 2020.
Tenable’s predictive technologies are powered by Exposure.ai, which continuously analyses 20 trillion aspects of threat, vulnerability and asset information using machine learning algorithms to predict critical exposure points before they can be leveraged in an attack.
“Technology investments are now driving our economy, and they have become central to our very way of life. Modern organisations require an innovative approach to cybersecurity, one that is holistic and predictive, not piecemeal and responsive, and most of all aligned with the strategic priorities of business,” said Renaud Deraison, chief technology officer and co-founder, Tenable. “Now, Lumin allows our customers to properly assess and track their cyber exposure and the maturity of their processes. For the first time, they can evaluate the ROI of their investments for remediation and mitigation and understand how they are stacking up against their peers.”
