Tenable agrees to acquire CNAPP vendor Ermetic
Summary
Ermetic’s CNAPP delivers in-depth contextual analysis in simple terms and reveals toxic combinations, such as privileged access to publicly-exposed vulnerable workloads. This approach solves a key industry challenge – managing an increasing volume of security data while contending with a massive skills gap in cybersecurity. “We will have an opportunity to put additional market-leading cloud security capabilities into the hands of tens of thousands of customers”, said Amit Yoran, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Tenable. From shift-left Infrastructure as Code security to agent-based and agentless assessment for runtime environments, broad CNAPP capabilities will be delivered via an elegant user experience that minimises complexity and speeds adoption. “Tenable’s massive install base of customers will enable us to introduce more organisations to the benefits of context-aware risk prioritisation to solve problems before they manifest”.
