LONDON, UK: Tenable Network Security, Inc. has announced a new solution that helps organizations measure security program effectiveness to gain board-level buy-in and optimize defenses to improve overall security.
"By 2020, 100 percent of large enterprises will be asked to report to their board of directors on cybersecurity and technology risk at least annually, which is up from today's 40 percent," noted Gartner in the March 2016 report How to Build an Effective Cybersecurity and Technology Risk Presentation for Your Board of Directors by Paul Proctor, Jeffrey Wheatman, and Rob McMillan.
With the Tenable Security Assurance solution, organizations are able to use the industry’s only Assurance Report Cards (ARCs) to bridge the gap between technical controls and business priorities. This comprehensive set of dashboards, metrics and reports presents executives with a holistic view of the overall security program so that they can quickly understand the organization’s security and compliance posture.
“If organizations want a clear picture of their security status, they need to help security practitioners and their board of directors to speak the same language,” said Matt Alderman, vice president of strategy, Tenable Network Security. “Our new Security Assurance solution gives organizations the critical context needed to deploy a comprehensive top-down security program that aligns day-to-day security operations with strategic business objectives, helping them to identify gaps and improve their security posture.”
