A Closer Look at Tenable's New Identity Exposure Features
Identity Exposure lets organizations view entitlements across their on-premises and cloud AD deployments. Accordingly, Identity Exposure provides "the most accurate assessment of identity risk and unmatched intelligence to help prevent exploited identity exposures," Tenable said. That way, organizations can understand how their identities are being used and look for ways to prevent them from being used for privilege escalation or other attack vectors.Meanwhile, Identity Exposure gives organizations an identity risk score powered by Tenable's AI and data science engine, the company indicated. An organization can use AI and other models to combine the vulnerability, exposure and identity entitlements of an asset and quantify its risk.Tenable also has extended Identity Exposure support to protect public and hybrid cloud Azure AD deployments, the company said. Organizations can use Identity Exposure to unify their identities across environments and manage cloud identity risk with indicators of exposure specific to Azure AD.Nico Popp, Tenable's chief product officer, commented on Identity Exposure's new features and how they help organizations protect against identity threats:“Access misconfiguration and weak identities are at the heart of ransomware attacks and corporate data breaches. Threat actors are only one identity vulnerability away from breaking into SaaS applications and stealing data. By leveraging modern AI techniques, Tenable can now quickly identify and prioritize identity and entitlement-related problems across AD and Azure AD."
