Cybersecurity company Tenable has announced that its product Tenable One, now connects with more than 300 other systems, to support its position as “one of the most widely integrated tools of its kind.” The company believed that it is well-positioned to pull together security information scattered across different tools and vendors within an organisation.
Many large organisations run dozens of different cybersecurity tools – one study cited by Tenable puts the average at 83. These tools are often not integrated with each other, creating blind spots in security defences and forcing IT teams to manually combine data from multiple sources, slowing their ability to respond to threats.
Tenable One aims to act as a central hub, pulling in and linking information from a wide range of systems, including endpoint detection, cloud security, asset tracking and privileged access management tools. By combining this information with threat intelligence and details about the organisation’s business priorities, Tenable One highlights the most pressing security risks and helps teams focus on them.
The integrations also work in reverse. Tenable One can send data to IT service desks, collaboration platforms, event monitoring systems and patch management tools, allowing companies to automate fixes and speed up teamwork between departments.
According to Tenable, some customers have seen a tenfold increase in visibility of their systems and cut the time spent pulling together data by three-quarters.
To make it easier for customers to connect their own bespoke tools, Tenable plans to launch a “universal integrations connector” later this year. This will let companies and partners create their own secure links to the platform without waiting for Tenable to build them.
Tenable’s chief product officer, Eric Doerr, said: “A closed-off platform isn’t just an inconvenience – it’s a security risk. We’re giving customers the ability to see and connect everything from one place, without replacing the tools they already trust.”
