Cybersecurity is important. It should be integrated.

Siemens Energy and the network security company Tenable have pursued a bold new strategy to answer growing cybersecurity challenges. Starting this fall, Tenable OT Security will be directly integrated into Siemens Energy’s flagship industrial control system, known as Omnivise T3000. The two companies saw an opportunity for further improvement, building on each other’s strengths. Months of work went into directly integrating Tenable OT Security into the Omnivise T3000 industrial control system. Customers that upgrade to the integrated system for the latest release of T3000 will gain access to Tenable OT Security and its capabilities.
