Tenable has made a significant leap in the realm of cloud and AI security with the introduction of its Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) and Artificial Intelligence Security Posture Management (AI-SPM) capabilities. These additions to the Tenable Cloud Security platform are designed to mitigate the increasing complexities inherent in cloud environments and safeguard sensitive data and AI resources. The complexities within cloud environments often stem from misconfigurations, risky entitlements, and inherent vulnerabilities, which can expose vital data to cyber threats. According to Tenable Research, a considerable 38% of organizations grapple with the “toxic cloud triad,” which encompasses publicly exposed workloads that are critically vulnerable and highly privileged. These alarming statistics underscore the critical need for robust security solutions.
New tools within the Tenable Cloud Security platform focus on comprehensive protection across hybrid and multi-cloud environments by integrating DSPM and AI-SPM. The new features offer automatic discovery, classification, and risk assessment of sensitive data using flexible, agentless scanning methods. This tool’s user-friendly interface empowers security teams to answer essential questions relating to the location and type of cloud data, the vulnerability of AI resources, and the level of access to sensitive cloud and AI data. The ultimate objective is to enhance the security posture by providing actionable insights that help preempt potential security breaches.
Enhanced Cloud Data Protection
The core of Tenable’s new capabilities lies in DSPM, which significantly enhances cloud data visibility and risk management across multiple cloud environments. Continuous monitoring allows for the discovery, classification, and prioritization of data risks based on the entire cloud attack surface. With these capabilities, organizations can streamline their cloud security operations, ensuring that sensitive information is protected from exposure and unauthorized access. DSPM automatically identifies sensitive data across the cloud and evaluates risks without requiring intrusive measures, thereby offering a seamless and efficient security solution. The ability to adapt flexibly to various cloud environments allows for a more resilient defense against potential security threats.
Tenable’s platform doesn’t stop at just identifying risks but also prioritizes and guides remediation efforts. By using vulnerability intelligence and context-driven analytics, security teams receive prioritized, actionable advice to address critical cloud exposures. This makes it possible to not only detect but also swiftly respond to vulnerabilities, significantly reducing the window of opportunity for potential attackers. Effective risk prioritization and mitigation are crucial in maintaining a secure cloud environment, especially when dealing with the expanding data sets and complex configurations typical of modern enterprises. Tenable’s DSPM assures a security posture that keeps pace with evolving threats.
Strengthening AI Security Capabilities
The inclusion of AI-SPM capabilities marks another leap forward, addressing the unique risks posed by artificial intelligence and machine learning. As enterprises increasingly adopt AI technologies, ensuring their secure implementation becomes imperative. AI-SPM supports this by enforcing best practices for AI and machine learning configurations and protecting training data. This includes measures to safeguard AI infrastructure against unauthorized access and potential leaks of sensitive information. By managing AI entitlements effectively, AI-SPM reduces exposure risks and ensures the integrity of vital data underpinning AI and machine learning models.
Coupled with Tenable’s existing Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) and Cloud Workload Protection (CWP) features, AI-SPM provides a comprehensive framework to secure AI deployments. These combined capabilities make it possible to monitor identity and access insights, reduce data exposure, and ensure adherence to security protocols across AI environments. By integrating these security facets, Tenable enhances the reliability and trustworthiness of AI implementations in organizational contexts. This holistic approach is particularly beneficial in detecting anomalies and unusual usage patterns, which are telltale signs of potential security breaches.
Comprehensive Security and Education
Tenable has advanced in cloud and AI security by launching its Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) and Artificial Intelligence Security Posture Management (AI-SPM) capabilities. These new features, part of the Tenable Cloud Security platform, aim to reduce the growing complexities within cloud environments and protect sensitive data and AI assets. Cloud environment challenges often arise from misconfigurations, risky entitlements, and inherent vulnerabilities, putting critical data at risk of cyber threats. Tenable Research reports that 38% of organizations struggle with the “toxic cloud triad,” which includes publicly exposed workloads that are critically vulnerable and highly privileged—highlighting the urgent need for strong security measures.
The Tenable Cloud Security platform now offers robust protection across hybrid and multi-cloud environments by integrating DSPM and AI-SPM. These features enable automatic discovery, classification, and risk assessment of sensitive data via flexible, agentless scans. A user-friendly interface allows security teams to locate and categorize cloud data, assess AI resource vulnerabilities, and determine access levels to sensitive cloud and AI data. The goal is to strengthen security posture by providing actionable insights to preempt potential security breaches.
