Tenable Acquiring Cymptom

And in yet more cybersecurity M&A, Tenable has signed an agreement to acquire Cymptom, a provider of attack path management.

Cymptom enables organizations to continuously test and evaluate threats according to the MITRE ATT&CK framework and the hacker’s attack perspective. They can do so without the use of agents or running simulated attacks.

Combining Tenable’s coverage of vulnerabilities and misconfigurations with Cymptom’s attack path analysis and prioritization capabilities will allow security teams to preemptively focus response ahead of and during attacks.

Nico Popp is Tenable‘s chief product officer.

“Risk prioritization has become a cornerstone of modern cybersecurity,” he said. “By correlating software vulnerabilities and misconfigurations with network and access data, Cymptom can immediately identify exploitable attack and breach pathways. Following closing of the deal, these compelling analytics will be integrated into Tenable.ep, Tenable’s exposure platform, and augment the prioritization, benchmarking, trending and other capabilities which are part of Lumin and available via Tenable.ep.”

After closing, Cymptom’s agentless platform will be integrated into Tenable’s threat and vulnerability data. The terms of the deal were not disclosed and the acquisition is expected to close this quarter.
