Tenable introduces new functions from Lumin: Predict and combat cyber risks in dynamic environments even faster.
Tenable. today announced new features for Tenable® Lumin ™. These give companies the opportunity to align their business goals with cybersecurity initiatives. With the recent enhancements to the Cyber Exposure Management platform, IT security teams can now predict which vulnerabilities pose the greatest business risk. In this way, cyber threats can be effectively reduced in modern and distributed environments.
The performance of the global economy increasingly depends on the availability and security of the digital infrastructure. Because of this, cyber risk has become an inherent business risk. But the modern attack surface has increased significantly due to new assets such as the cloud, IoT and operational technology. CISOs are constantly busy determining the severity of each vulnerability and need to address these threats based on business risk.
New features for CISOs and their security teams
Tenable Lumin's new features help CISOs and their security teams overcome the challenges of managing, assessing and reducing cyber risks in modern environments:
Remediation Maturity
measures the speed and efficiency of IT teams in fixing vulnerabilities and compares these factors with colleagues from identical industries and Tenable's best practices. Remediation Maturity is now generally integrated into Tenable Lumin.
mitigation
evaluates the reaction of the security team to critical risks if a timely elimination of the vulnerability is not possible. The feature provides an inventory of endpoint security controls for a complete and more accurate picture of cyber threats to an organization. Mitigations will be available in Tenable Lumin in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Predictive scoring
provides a more precise and comprehensive insight into the entire cyber exposure of an organization. This function derives the exposure scores from various asset groups in the environment before they are evaluated in detail. Predictive scoring uses the database of similar assets. If the vulnerabilities in these assets are critical, security teams can more easily identify areas of potentially high risk. Predictive scoring will also be available in Tenable Lumin in the fourth quarter of 2020.
20 trillion threat information in analysis
Tenable predictive technologies are supported by Exposure.ai against cyber risks, as it continuously analyzes 20 trillion pieces of information on threats and vulnerabilities using machine learning algorithms. This enables the AI to predict critical vulnerabilities before they are exploited in an actual attack.
“Technology investments fuel our economy and have become a central part of our way of life. Modern organizations require an innovative approach to cybersecurity - a holistic and predictive approach, not just selective and reactive, that is first and foremost aligned with the strategic priorities of the business,” said Renaud Deraison, chief technology officer and co-founder of Tenable. “Lumin now enables our customers to properly assess and monitor their cyber exposure and process maturity. For the first time, they can evaluate the return on investment of their recovery and containment efforts and compare themselves to their competitors,” said Deraison.
