Tenable.cs to Provide Security from Code to Cloud

Tenable Inc., a cyber exposure company, released Tenable.cs, adding cloud-native security capabilities to its platform. Coming on the heels of its acquisition of Accurics, Tenable.cs enables organizations to accelerate innovation by aligning development, operational and security teams behind security and resiliency goals.

With the release of Tenable.cs, Tenable will help organizations protect the full cloud-native stack throughout the DevOps lifecycle, from the time applications and infrastructure are defined in code through production usage.

Tenable.cs scans Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to detect and remediate any flaws, policy violations and potential breach paths before provisioning to the cloud infrastructure.

Implementing secure and compliant IaC is a cornerstone to aligning DevOps, security and compliance, which helps prevent cloud security risk, improve developer productivity and ultimately strengthen security and compliance.

DevOps and security teams face the challenge of “staying in their lanes” while attempting to collaborate without impeding innovation. This pursuit is complicated by cloud-native environments that are ever evolving and increasing in complexity.

Tenable.cs brings the Accurics platform into the Tenable ecosystem, giving teams pragmatic, real-world solutions from build through runtime. The solution also delivers a best practices framework that unites DevOps and Security teams so companies can innovate in the cloud with confidence.

The inaugural release of Tenable.cs builds on established Accurics capabilities by optimizing the user experience, enhancing runtime capabilities and reporting and enabling tighter integration with development workflows.

Optimized user experience:

  • Unified management console for multiple control planes including code repositories, cloud accounts, Kubernetes clusters and CI/CD or GitOps pipelines
  • A streamlined user experience for configuring complex AWS, Azure and GCP environments and projects
  • A low code security policy editor which simplifies management of policy logic while eliminating the need to learn another policy language

Enhanced runtime capabilities and reporting:

  • Continuous monitoring of AWS configuration changes, enabling real-time management of cloud posture
  • Comprehensive posture management for Kubernetes applications, including detecting configuration drifts in Kubernetes runtime infrastructure

Tighter integration with development workflows:

  • Improved integration into development pipelines, including new policies for application vulnerabilities and the ability to enforce policies during build time
  • Kubernetes policy guardrails based on recent NSA and CISA Kubernetes Hardening Guidance
