Dubai, UAE: Tenable®, Inc., the Cyber Exposure company, announced the appointment of Marty Edwards, a globally recognized expert in cybersecurity for industrial control systems and operational technology (OT), as Vice President of OT Security.
“OT is part of the modern attack surface and CISOs are being tasked with securing OT systems alongside traditional IT,” said Renaud Deraison, co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, Tenable. “Together with Indegy, we’re going to deliver the industry’s first unified, risk-based view of IT and OT security. Adding Marty Edwards, one of the foremost and most sought-after industrial cybersecurity experts, to our OT bench is another testament to our growing expertise in this space and to our commitment to pioneering new solutions for the next wave of IT/OT convergence.”
At Tenable, Edwards will serve as an evangelist for the company’s OT security vision, with a particular focus on furthering government and industry initiatives to improve critical infrastructure security. Edwards and his team will help ensure organizations address OT security as part of their risk conversations. He will report to the office of the Chief Technology Officer.
Edwards joins Tenable from the International Society of Automation (ISA), where he was the Director of Strategic Initiatives. In this role, he worked closely with government and industry leaders to help strengthen the cyber defenses of critical infrastructure.
