Tenable, Inc. announced that it has been titled as a Leader in Forrester’s report, “The Forrester Wave™: Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Security Solutions, Q4, 2021.”
“The rush to modernize critical infrastructure and the ICS that underpins it has converged the worlds of IT and OT. It’s no longer adequate to address the security of these environments in a siloed, disjointed fashion,” said Nico Popp, chief product officer, Tenable.
He added, “Understanding exposure across the expanding ICS attack surface is the first and most important step in reducing overall risk. We’re thrilled that Forrester has recognized us as a Leader with the highest possible scores in the execution roadmap and innovation roadmap criteria.”
Forrester analysed vendors’ capabilities across 27 distinct criteria and classified them as Leaders, Strong Performers, Contenders, and Challengers in its first-ever ICS Security Solutions Wave. Tenable received the highest possible scores (5.0) in seven criteria, including ICS Protocol Support, Vulnerability Risk Management for Operational Technology, Execution Roadmap, Innovation Roadmap, Planned Enhancements, Commercial Model, and Product Security. As one of only three leaders, Tenable received the highest possible scores (5.0) in seven criteria, including ICS Protocol Support, Vulnerability Risk Management for Operational Technology, Execution Roadmap, Innovation Roadmap, Planned Enhancements, Commercial
“Tenable.ot was superior to other vendors in this evaluation on the breadth of ICS protocols it can properly support…” according to Forrester’s report.
The report also shows “Tenable.ot is a great fit for customers who already use Tenable in their IT environment for vulnerability risk management and seek to better understand the risks in their OT environment.”
Organizations are struggling to get unified visibility across their dynamic environments of legacy operational technology (OT), internet-connected ICS, and modern IT while critical infrastructure attacks continue to escalate. Tenable.otTM addresses this issue by allowing enterprises to benefit from the efficiencies and cost reductions of converged IT and OT environments while remaining risk-aware. Tenable provides enhanced security and risk-based insight across mission- and safety-critical environments by offering a thorough, threat-based score suited for both IT and OT assets.
Tenable.ot was recently added to the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) Program’s Approved Product List (APL), allowing federal agencies and departments to purchase Tenable.ot through the CDM Program’s Multiple Award Schedule.
