Tenable announces technology integration with Google Cloud

Tenable Network Security announced a technology integration with Google Cloud Platform that gives customers a complete view of security within their cloud and hybrid environments. Tenable solutions will use Google Stackdriver for cloud monitoring, logging and diagnostics information for Google Cloud Platform customers.

By correlating the data with security information collected by Tenable SecurityCentre Continuous View from hosts, devices and systems, Tenable provides Google Cloud Platform customers with an understanding of their security posture for their on-premises and multi cloud environments. Customers can easily see when and by whom new hosts are provisioned. Tenable can detect and alert when public facing infrastructure is being scanned, or if there is an attack on an application running on Google Cloud Platform.

“Organisations need a comprehensive security programme that delivers complete visibility and the assurance to know their data will be safe and secure, whether using an all cloud approach, a hybrid or multi cloud environment,” said Matt Alderman, Vice President of Strategy, Tenable Network Security. “With this integration, Google Cloud Platform customers can benefit from the increased flexibility, reduced costs and ease of doing business in the cloud, and gain enhanced visibility into the security of their workloads.”

Tenable Network Security enhances security technology for business needs through solutions that provide visibility and critical context. Tenable eliminates blind spots, prioritises threats, and reduces exposure and loss. The company has one million users and more than 20,000 enterprise customers worldwide. Tenable’s customers range from Fortune Global 500 companies, to the US Department of Defense, to mid sized and small businesses in sectors including finance, government, healthcare, higher education, retail and energy.
