Tenable plans to purchase a cloud security startup founded by the longtime leader of Secdo to help security teams make efficient and accurate remediation decisions.

For Tenable, the expansion of its offering with Ermetic’s identity-driven cloud security capabilities will enable the company to “deliver a holistic view of the modern attack surface and help organizations reduce exposure and risk, using identity as an essential foundation,” Tenable CEO Amit Yoran said in a news release.

Bernard Montel - EMEA technical director and security strategist, talks to IT Pro about the threat from open source software attacks.

"When you move to platform-based security, like Tenable offers to our customers, you can help address not only traditional vulnerabilities, but you can look at access and entitlements, you can look at cloud security and you can bring multiple disciplines of security to provide more effective security and help customers reduce cost. Understanding your cyber risk and understanding your level of cybersecurity and where you have exposures and addressing those exposures proactively isn't a 'nice to have' in this environment. This is a mandatory requirement (from the SEC). Cyber risk is a critical component of business risk and you have a duty of care to understand it and to manage it very proactively." - Amit Yoran

ExposureAI will be integrated into Tenable One, the vendor's encompassing exposure management platform, and is the latest cybersecurity produce to employ large language models.

Cybersecurity veteran Amit Yoran says Microsoft has a culture of toxic obfuscation when it comes to addressing security threats.
