Tenable , announced release of Tenable
One for OT and IoT . It is the first and only exposure management platform that provides holistic visibility into assets across IT and operational technology OT environments .
The convergence of physical assets and IT – such as HVAC systems in data centres , 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 . 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 providers gain a clear picture of true exposure across their entire attack surface . This first-of-its-kind approach allows organisations to prioritise security risks wherever they reside – be it in the cloud , data centre , 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 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
