Singapore – Tenable, a cybersecurity firm, has recently introduced its two new identity exposure features aimed at detecting vulnerabilities in identity management. Said capabilities further extend to enabling organisations to take swift, targeted action to prevent identity-based security threats.
With identity management becoming increasingly fragmented, organisations face growing security risks, from weakened access controls to undetected privilege escalation and lateral movement. Tenable’s latest Identity 360 and Exposure Centre address this challenge by providing comprehensive visibility across identity providers for centralised security management.
Among their key features, the company noted a 360-degree identity visibility and risk prioritisation, with Tenable Identity Exposure consolidating this information into comprehensive identity profiles for streamlined risk management.
A centralised weakness management and streamlined remediation function was also added, which consolidates identity-related weaknesses such as privilege misconfigurations, excessive permissions, stale accounts, default settings, risky trust relationships and unmonitored service accounts into a single interface. Following this, it also takes action with detailed remediation steps and one-click PowerShell scripts.
Lastly, benefits further include offering an AI-driven identity asset exposure score (AES), where they identify the most critical identity weaknesses with AI-driven risk scoring and focus remediation efforts on the highest-priority threats.
Speaking about these enhancements, Shai Morag, chief product officer at Tenable, commented, “Compromised identities are at the root of nearly every successful cyberattack. Today, 75% of organisations manage two or more identity solutions, leading to increased complexity around identity security. Tenable Identity Exposure ensures that organisations have full visibility into their identity risks and provides actionable remediation guidance so organisations can swiftly and confidently prevent attacks before they occur.”
