Differences Between Attack Path Analysis and Tenable OT Security

Attack Path Analysis and Tenable OT Security overlap mainly with OT/ICS assets. The Attack Path modules for Attack Path Analysis and Tenable OT Security were designed to achieve different objectives.

Attack Path Analysis highlights exploitable and realistic attack paths with converged IT and OT assets, to show security relationships, which an attacker would likely choose. Tenable OT Security, on the other hand, enables thorough exploration and visualization of the underlying connections between Operational Technology attack vectors. Therefore, Attack Path Analysis is based on the MITRE ATT&CK™ framework and supports attack techniques for IT, ICS, network, and cloud, whereas Tenable OT Security focuses strictly on OT/ICS environments.
