University of Wollongong Reduces Cyber Risk with Tenable
Summary
The entire assessment to remediation process has also been streamlined by leveraging Tenable’s Predictive Prioritization capabilities which yield a Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR) score. We now have visibility over 20,000 assets and are able to support the provision of in-person and distance learning programmes for over 35,000 students,” said Steve Cliffe, Cybersecurity Manager, the University of Wollongong. “Automating and streamlining processes have also allowed our team to focus on important security initiatives including cyber-security training and coordinating with the board to implement new policies.” UOW’s vulnerability management program has quickly become the cornerstone for a more holistic and proactive approach to cybersecurity across the organisation. “The ability to discover, remediate and report on vulnerabilities in real-time has opened up a new level of dialogue with faculty members and senior management about how secure we are and need to be as the threat landscape evolves within the education sector,” said Cliffe. UOW is a shining example of an organisation which has established a robust security program to accurately identify, prioritise and remediate vulnerabilities that pose the greatest business risk,” said Scott McKinnel, Country Manager ANZ, Tenable.
