Tenable announced that two of its solutions, Tenable Vulnerability Management and Tenable Web App Scanning, have been assessed at a ‘PROTECTED’ level by the Infosec Security Registered Assessors Program (IRAP), an initiative by the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD).
The IRAP assessment is an independent evaluation of the implementation, appropriateness and effectiveness of a system’s security controls.
“The persistent breaches targeting government systems, critical infrastructure and information networks represent a genuine menace to Australia’s national security,” said Robert Huber, chief security officer and head of research at Tenable. “The IRAP program stands as a pivotal assurance mechanism, ensuring technology solutions like Tenable’s adhere to the rigorous cyber standards of the Australian government. The successful completion of this assessment solidifies Tenable’s commitment to advancing national security interests while upholding the highest echelons of security and compliance for critical government initiatives.”
“As organisations increasingly navigate the cloud landscape, the proliferation of cybersecurity solutions becomes evident,” noted Scott McKinnel, Tenable ANZ’s Country Manager. “The real challenge frequently lies in distilling actionable insights from the extensive data available. Tenable champions a paradigm shift, moving beyond the conventional practice of solely scanning on-premises IT assets for vulnerabilities. Instead, it advocates for a context-driven analytics approach, empowering cybersecurity teams to anticipate and proactively thwart threats.”
