Tenable, a leading cybersecurity company, has joined forces with Google Cloud to unveil groundbreaking features designed to revolutionize cybersecurity strategies for organizations worldwide. The new features, integrated into Tenable’s platform, leverage generative AI capabilities to provide customers with enhanced insights, actionable intelligence, and specific mitigation guidance to combat evolving cyber threats effectively.
Addressing modern cyber challenges
Organizations face many cybersecurity challenges in today’s digital landscape, including many exposures and increasingly complex threat actor tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). Compounded by a global cyber workforce shortage, the need for innovative solutions to bolster cybersecurity defenses has never been more critical.
According to recent data from ISC2, the global cyber workforce shortage stands at a staggering 5.5 million trained professionals, highlighting the urgency for automated and intelligent cybersecurity solutions.
Recognizing the need for advanced cybersecurity tools, Tenable’s latest features harness the power of generative AI to empower security teams with unparalleled capabilities. By leveraging Google Cloud’s Gemini models in Vertex AI, Tenable’s platform enables customers to streamline threat analysis, prioritize vulnerabilities, and proactively mitigate risks.
Key features and benefits
The newly introduced features offer a range of benefits to security practitioners, including:
- Attack Path Analysis:
Security practitioners can now access comprehensive summaries for each attack path, providing insights into potential attack vectors and guidance on mitigating risks.
The intuitive interface offers clear visibility into complex attack paths, enabling organizations to stay one step ahead of adversaries.
- AI Assistant
Tenable’s AI assistant facilitates interactive engagement, allowing users to ask specific questions about attack paths and associated vulnerabilities.
From querying asset details to identifying mitigation strategies, the AI assistant streamlines the decision-making process for security and IT practitioners.
- Mitigation Guidance:
Automated mitigation guidance offers precise recommendations for addressing vulnerabilities identified within attack paths.
By eliminating the need for manual analysis, security teams can expedite the remediation process and bolster overall resilience against cyber threats.
Industry Endorsement
Glen Pendley, Chief Technology Officer at Tenable, emphasized the significance of these advancements, stating, “ExposureAI, with Google Cloud, takes the guesswork out of the process and saves invaluable time in recommending the exact path to remediation.” Eric Doerr, Vice President of Security Engineering at Google Cloud, echoed Pendley’s sentiments, describing generative AI as a “game changer” for cyber defenders.
With increasingly sophisticated and relentless cyber threats, organizations must adopt innovative approaches to safeguard their digital assets. By leveraging the latest advancements in generative AI technology, Tenable and Google Cloud empower security teams to enhance their cybersecurity posture, mitigate risks, and protect against evolving threats. As the digital landscape continues to evolve, investing in AI-driven cybersecurity solutions remains imperative for organizations seeking to safeguard their infrastructure and data assets effectively.
