Continuous monitoring has improved OT threat detection and now provides faster, accurate alerts
The best features of Tenable Vulnerability Management include vulnerability scanning, asset discovery, continuous monitoring and alerting, and the ability to report through the dashboard. The dashboard is fully customized towards our environment, and we can use that for our advantage. Out of those features, I find myself relying on the vulnerability scanning the most because it identifies known vulnerabilities and gives us the ability to understand if there is any missing configuration or security configuration. It reduces the exposure to cyber attacks and gives us a detailed view of how the OT environment is functioning. Tenable Vulnerability Management features are great, and the reporting and dashboards are easy and customizable for our environment. The reporting tool gives us immediate information or alerts based on the set parameters that we have within the infrastructure. It gives us a threat level as high, medium, or low, and this can help us to identify or determine if there is any known threat within the environment. The governance and security of Tenable Vulnerability Management is within our control, meaning the user has the power or the authority to work with the AI and to allow the AI to work within your environment in terms of what you want. For instance, the OT environment is something that is very sensitive, and you will not want the AI management tool to take over or to do certain actions within the OT environment. Therefore, as a user, you have control over the AI. Tenable Vulnerability Management provides accuracy and reliable output because it is active, it is real, and it gives updated information. The threats are real based on the alerts that we get, and after reviewing, we are sure that what we see is within our environment and it is accurate.
