Tenable Releases New “Assurance Report Cards” Solution for Security Assurance

Tenable Network Security has announced a new Security Awareness solution aimed at helping organizations measure security program effectiveness to “gain board-level buy-in and optimize defenses to improve overall security,” according to a press release.

Tenable’s Security Assurance solution offers what the company says are the industry’s only Assurance Report Cards (ARCs), which aim to “bridge the gap between technical controls and business priorities,” with a comprehensive set of dashboards, metrics and reports presenting a holistic view of the overall security program.

The release comes as Security Assurance tools gain prominence amongst security providers and analysts alike, Gartner Analysts have predicted that 100 percent of large enterprises will be asked to report to their board of directors on cybersecurity risk at least annually by 2020, a 60 percent rise from 2016.
