Tenable certified for VCE Vblock  

Cloud infrastructures built on Cisco, EMC and VMware technologies can now be made less vulnerable to attack 

Real time vulnerability management specialists, Tenable Network Security, has taken a big step towards widening its interest to cloud users by getting its Nessus, SecurityCenter, Passive Vulnerability Scanner (PVS) and Log Correlation Engine products certified to run on VCE Vblock Systems.

They can now carry the tag of being `VCE Vblock Ready’, which gives customers the assurance that the company’s suite of vulnerability and risk management solutions will interoperate with Vblock Systems.

Tenable’s goal is to identify threats in real time to keep hackers, attackers, and viruses from inflicting damage to information or communications. Becoming Vblock certified extends that capability because Vblock systems are designed to integrate with leading systems from some of the biggest players in cloud delivery infrastructure, such as Cisco networking and servers, EMC storage, and VMware cloud infrastructure technologies. It helps bring them together into a single intelligent converged infrastructure system with seamless support.

The Nessus, SecurityCenter and PVS products monitor for threats on every device on the network, including virtualised machines. This can be important, as virtual systems may not be present during scanning, or  may evade normal active scanning processes.

 “Virtualization and cloud technologies bring new complexity to IT,” said Vatsal Sonecha, VP Business Development at Tenable Network Security. “With the certification, Vblock customers may now utilise Tenable’s vulnerability, patch and configuration management with Vblock converged infrastructure.”

This certification enables mutual channel partners and customers to accelerate adoption of Vblock Systems by adding the vulnerability management, attack detection and mitigation, compliance monitoring, and IT risk management capabilities that Tenable now brings to the cloud security party.
