Tenable Acquiring DSPM Provider Eureka Security

Tenable is acquiring Eureka Security, an Israel-based provider of data security posture management (DSPM) for cloud environments.

Tenable isn’t disclosing financial details of the acquisition, which should close this month.

Tenable said in an announcement that adding DSPM capabilities to its application protection platform (CNAPP) lets its customers find key evidence of data risk. That includes observint where in the cloud sensitive data resides, the people that can that data and the extent of the risk posed by potential a data compromise. This form of visibility plays a crucial role in organizations accurately assessing their cloud security compliance, the company said.

In the 2024 Tenable Cloud Security Outlook study, 95% of organizations polled had experienced cloud-related breaches in the previous 18 months. Among those, 92% reported exposure of sensitive data, and a majority acknowledged being harmed by the data exposure.

“Tenable Cloud Security is a unified CNAPP that already includes such capabilities as cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM), cloud security posture management (CSPM), Kubernetes security posture management (KSPM), container security, cloud workload protection and more,” he said. “The addition of Eureka’s DSPM technology helps provide even more context on the cloud risk that may exist for holistic protection of customer data.”

The Eureka Security DSPM capabilities should be natively integrated into Tenable Cloud Security and its CNAPP solution later this year.
