Tenable has announced the release of a new tool to help companies more quickly close vulnerability exposures.
According to a recent survey from Tenable, only 9% of respondents believe that they are effective at vulnerability remediation, and only 11% believe their process is efficient. The process of identifying, testing, and installing remediation patches is also a time-consuming one, Tenable explained.
To help companies overcome their challenges, Tenable announced Tenable Patch Management, which can autonomously apply patches, and includes customizable controls and automatic patch testing to prevent bad updates from going out.
Other key features include automated correlation between vulnerabilities and the appropriate remediation action, automatic validation to allow teams to confirm that a remediation was successful, and the ability to monitor compliance status.
According to Tenable, the new solution is based on its own vulnerability coverage, built-in prioritization, threat intelligence and real-time insight, as well as an integration with the patch management company Adaptiva.
It is available as an add on to Tenable One, Tenable Vulnerability Management, Tenable Security Center, and Tenable Enclave Security.
“Tenable’s approach to patch management keeps security teams in the driver’s seat,” said Shai Morag, chief product officer of Tenable. “Organizations can accurately remediate exposures, streamlining the time from discovery to remediation all while in full control. The combined power of Tenable’s market-leading identification and prioritization and Adaptiva’s innovative autonomous patch functionality enables enterprises of all sizes to close the gap between security and IT and free up team resources to focus on the threats that matter most to their business.”
