Tenable-enhanced ServiceNow partnership to streamline secure OT operations workflow

Tenable announced enhancements to its partnership with ServiceNow that bolster the Now Platform with asset inventory and vulnerability data from Tenable.ot.

Utilising Tenable’s unified assessment and remediation guidance, this new integration streamlines asset inventory and centralises IT and operational technology (OT) remediation workflows across converged industrial environments.

As the only vendor to natively bring both IT and OT vulnerability data together, Tenable’s latest integration with ServiceNow provides visibility and control over OT assets with the same tools and processes that were traditionally reserved for IT assets. Using Tenable’s Predictive Prioritisation capabilities, customers can prioritise the IT and OT flaws that pose the greatest risk to their business and then remediate them within a streamlined workflow through ServiceNow’s Vulnerability Response (VR) module.

According to Ray Komar, vice-president of technical alliances at Tenable, industrial networks become increasingly more complex with a mixture of IT and OT, it is more critical than ever to know what assets and vulnerabilities are in your environment.

“The days of managing multiple spreadsheets across disparate teams are over.

“We’re excited to partner with ServiceNow providing our joint customers a unified view of the attack surface, and empowering security teams to remediate threats.

“Organisations are rapidly embracing digital transformation in their industrial environments,” Komar said.

Approximately 40,000 organisations around the globe rely on Tenable to understand and reduce cyber risk and the new integration will be available at no cost to current Tenable.ot and ServiceNow customers.

Allen Hackman, head of manufacturing industry at ServiceNow further explained that minimising blindspots and siloed processes is key to helping prevent damaging cyber attacks.
