Following an announcement in September about its partnership with PAS, Siemens made public today another partnership focused specifically on protecting the critical infrastructure industries of energy, utilities, and oil and gas.<\/p>\n<p>Announced at the Gartner Symposium\/ITxpo in Barcelona, Spain, the partnership between Siemens and Tenable\u2014whose Tenable.io cybersecurity platform focuses on asset discovery and visibility\u2014helps organizations understand which of their operational technology (OT) assets could be the most vulnerable.<\/p>\n<section id=\"block-block-70\" class=\"block block-block clearfix\"><\/section>\n<p>It\u2019s not that energy companies don\u2019t understand that they\u2019re at risk. At least two-thirds of oil and gas companies appreciate the fact that increased digitalization comes with increased cyber risk, according to a study released earlier this year by the Ponemon Institute.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe industrial cyber risk has become a major problem in this space. The number of attacks targeting OT increased to over 30 percent [of all cyber attacks], and yet most companies are not prepared,\u201d said Leo Simonovich, vice president and global head of industrial cyber and digital security for Siemens Energy. \u201cThey\u2019re struggling to address the fundamentals.\u201d Those fundamentals, he added, include basic hygiene and understanding what assets they have; and deploying advanced monitoring measures to help address the threats to those assets.<\/p>\n<section id=\"block-dfp-native\" class=\"block block-dfp clearfix\">\n<div id=\"dfp-ad-native-wrapper\" class=\"dfp-tag-wrapper\"><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p><em><strong>Read more about &#8220;Cybersecurity Lessons From Critical Infrastructure&#8221; in Automation World&#8217;s November cover story.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The work between the two companies combines Tenable\u2019s OT-dedicated passive vulnerability detection system with Siemens\u2019 domain expertise and operational know-how. Tenable technology provides safe, reliable asset discovery and vulnerability detection purpose-built for industrial control systems and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems. Using passive network monitoring based on Tenable\u2019s Nessus Network Monitor, the OT-native system helps identify and prioritize OT risks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPassive\u201d is an important element of Tenable\u2019s technology. Around for about 10 years, the technology is designed for critical systems that require a non-intrusive approach to vulnerability detection. Traditional cyber defense has involved actively routing packets across a network to try to extract information from endpoints, explained Ray Komar, vice president of technical alliances at Tenable Network Security. But this could negatively impact elements of the network, which is a huge problem in the OT space. \u201cSo historically they\u2019ve done nothing, which is also not the right answer.\u201d Tenable\u2019s technology is passively listening to network activity, doing analytics, Komar added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe passive piece is really key because a single patch can bring down our plant,\u201d Simonovich said. \u201cThe whole idea behind our partnership is to empower our partners to make decisions. Today, on the OT side, a piece of malware can sit on there for years. The reason is because our customers are hesitant to deploy measures because they\u2019re weighing the risk and reward. The unknown causes them concern.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Through its partnership with Tenable, Siemens can help its customers discover assets and identify vulnerabilities. \u201cWe can give them information and insights, or work in tandem with them to deploy the fix,\u201d Simonovich said. \u201cSiemens helps prioritize this; understand the risk but also the business impact that\u2019s associated with the fix.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Siemens provides the end-to-end managed service\u2014from hardening to monitoring to response, Simonovich said. \u201cWith Tenable, we go to market together and deploy the Tenable solution as a service; as an assessment to help understand the security posture,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Simonovich referenced the \u201cstring of announcements\u201d about various Siemens partnership within the cybersecurity space. \u201cThere\u2019s really no silver bullet for security, so we identify the best in breed and help customers secure the whole lifecycle\u2014from the discovery piece all the way through mediation,\u201d he said. \u201cWe see this as working towards a solution set. And it really is a solution set that helps solve a puzzle for our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though its underlying technology is mature and robust, Tenable recognizes that they can\u2019t do it all themselves, Komar said. \u201cSecurity is such a complex and fragmented area,\u201d he said. \u201cPartnering is the way to achieve actionable success.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Necessarily teaming up against cyber attackers, Siemens announced its latest [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":842,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,9],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.9 -
