Tenable has announced that its Tenable One Exposure Management Platform now features over 300 validated integrations.
The company stated that this milestone establishes Tenable One as the most interconnected exposure management platform currently available, allowing it to serve as what it describes as a central hub for security data and analytics integration.
Fragmentation challenge
With enterprises on average deploying 83 distinct cybersecurity tools according to industry research, organisations are facing fragmented and siloed views of their attack surfaces. This environment creates blind spots that attackers can target, and results in security teams spending significant time reconciling separate streams of data.
Tenable's position is that Tenable One solves this challenge by connecting disparate parts of the security stack, enabling a more unified approach to exposure management. The platform's additions bring together data across various tools and systems, which the company positions as a measure towards improved risk reduction and visibility.
"A closed-off platform isn't just an inconvenience - it's a security risk, and Tenable is leading the charge to tear down these walls," said Eric Doerr, chief product officer at Tenable. "Reaching over 300 integrations is a fundamental shift in cyber control. We're giving our customers the power to see everything, connect everything, and manage their exposure from a single, unified platform without having to replace the tools they already trust. This is the future of cybersecurity, and Tenable is delivering it today."
Centralising risk view
The Tenable One platform is designed to unify data from a range of technology sources, including endpoint detection and response (EDR), cloud native application protection platforms (CNAPP), asset inventory, and privileged access management (PAM) tools. By integrating third-party data, Tenable One aims to provide a contextualised view of risk, which it enhances with threat intelligence and business context to help security teams identify blind spots.
The platform integrates with IT service management systems, communication platforms, security information and event management (SIEM) tools, and patch management products. Tenable says these integrations help automate remediation workflows and improve cross-team coordination, reducing the time needed to resolve exposures.
Customer adoption and measurable impacts
Tenable reports that approximately two-thirds of Tenable One customers currently use its integrations, including what it refers to as some of the most security-mature organisations. Customers have reported up to ten times greater visibility and a 75 percent reduction in data aggregation efforts according to the company, freeing resources for preventative security operations.
To support future growth of the ecosystem, Tenable has announced a universal integrations connector will be introduced for the platform later in the year. This tool will enable customers and partners to develop their own integrations, allowing for secure connection of custom applications and additional security tools to Tenable One.
Partner perspectives
Partners have commented on the role of integration in enhancing security outcomes.
"Effective security requires collaboration, and our partnership with Tenable exemplifies this approach in action. By integrating Tenable One's rich exposure data directly into Splunk Cloud Platform, Splunk Enterprise Security, and SOAR, we are providing our joint customers with unparalleled context to detect and respond to threats faster than ever before. The breadth of Tenable's ecosystem is a massive force multiplier for security operations teams." – Gretchen O'Hara, Vice President, Worldwide Channels & Alliances, Splunk
Other security vendors referenced the importance of a unified approach to risk management across different business functions.
"The traditional boundaries between security and operational teams have blurred, and meaningful risk reduction demands coordinated action across the business. The deep integration between Tenable One and the ServiceNow AI Platform helps close the gap between vulnerability identification and enterprise-scale remediation. Together, we're enabling customers to accelerate response and embed risk reduction into the fabric of how work gets done, ensuring critical exposures are addressed before they can be exploited." – Lou Fiorello, GVP and GM of Security and Risk Products, ServiceNow
"Compromising privileged access remains the primary goal of cyberattackers, and understanding exposure is critical. The integration between the CyberArk Identity Security Platform and Tenable One gives our joint customers a powerful advantage. With a unified approach that combines deep vulnerability insights with intelligent privilege controls, organizations can pinpoint risks to their most sensitive accounts and act swiftly to secure them, preventing privilege escalation and stopping breaches." – Joanne Wu, Vice President, Business Development, CyberArk
An IBM report, referenced by Tenable, suggests that the use of comprehensive security platforms can provide business value by improving visibility and response times across complex security environments.
