OX Security and Tenable Unite to Close the Cloud-to-Code Security Gap

NEW YORK, NY – March 19, 2026 – OX Security and Tenable announced a new strategic integration today, aiming to solve a persistent and costly problem in cybersecurity: the operational gap between identifying a risk in the cloud and fixing it in the underlying code. The joint solution connects Tenable's broad cloud exposure detection with OX Security's deep application context, promising to slash remediation times and reduce the noise that plagues modern security teams.

Tackling the Challenge of 'Alert Fatigue'

In today's fast-paced development environments, security teams are often drowning in a sea of alerts. Cloud security posture management (CSPM) and other tools are adept at scanning vast multi-cloud infrastructures and flagging thousands of potential vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and excessive permissions. However, this high volume of findings has created a significant operational bottleneck.

The core issue, often referred to as the "cloud-to-code gap," is a fundamental lack of context. An alert might flag a vulnerable package in a container running in production, but it rarely answers the critical follow-up questions: Which application does this container belong to? What team owns it? Where is the specific line of code that introduced this vulnerability? Who is the right developer to fix it?

This ambiguity forces a manual, time-consuming investigation process. Security analysts must act as detectives, cross-referencing data from multiple systems to trace the risk back to its source. This not only delays remediation, leaving critical exposures open for extended periods, but also creates friction between security, operations, and development teams, who often operate in silos with different tools and priorities. The result is a state of "alert fatigue," where critical risks can get lost in the noise of low-impact findings.

A Unified Approach from Cloud to Code

The integration between OX Security and Tenable is designed to eliminate this investigative guesswork through continuous, automated synchronization. The process leverages the distinct strengths of each platform to create a seamless workflow from detection to remediation.

It begins with Tenable Cloud Security, a core component of the company's well-regarded Tenable One exposure management platform. Tenable's technology performs comprehensive, agentless scans across an organization's multi-cloud landscape—including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud—to identify a wide range of risks in container images, Kubernetes clusters, and cloud workloads.

Once Tenable identifies a potential exposure, the integration funnels this finding to the OX Security platform. This is where the critical contextualization occurs. Using its unified code-to-cloud asset graph, OX correlates each cloud finding with its precise origin within the software development lifecycle. It maps the cloud risk directly to the originating application, the specific code repository, the build pipeline it passed through, and even the individual developer or team responsible.

This enriched, actionable information is then delivered directly into the native workflows of development teams. Instead of a generic alert in a security dashboard, developers receive a detailed ticket in Jira, an issue in GitHub, or a notification in Slack, complete with all the context needed to understand and fix the problem without switching tools or engaging in a lengthy back-and-forth with the security team.

Prioritizing Real Risk Over Raw Severity

Perhaps the most significant aspect of the joint solution is its ability to distinguish between theoretical vulnerabilities and genuine, exploitable risks. A common pitfall of traditional security tools is their reliance on static severity scores, like the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS), which often fail to account for the specific context of a production environment. A "critical" vulnerability may be unexploitable if the affected code path is not reachable in production.

The OX and Tenable integration addresses this by performing advanced reachability and exploitability analysis. OX's engine analyzes whether a vulnerability is present in a code path that is actually exposed to potential attackers. This validation allows the system to prioritize findings based on true risk, not just raw severity. By focusing teams on the issues that matter most, the solution helps organizations allocate their limited security and development resources more effectively.

"As environments become more complex and AI accelerates software development, security across both applications and cloud infrastructure is mission-critical," said Liat Hayun, Senior Vice President of Product Management and Research at Tenable. "By combining Tenable Cloud Security capabilities with OX's deep application context, we're eliminating blind spots and helping organizations focus on the exposures that matter most."

This focus on actionability is echoed by OX Security's leadership. "Security teams don't just need more visibility — they need the ability to act," stated Neatsun Ziv, co-founder and CEO at OX Security. "Our integration with Tenable connects cloud findings to the exact application and developer responsible and validates which issues are reachable and exploitable. This allows organizations to reduce noise, accelerate remediation, and stop critical risks before they reach production."

Reshaping Security Collaboration and the Competitive Landscape

Beyond the technical efficiencies, the integration signals a move toward a more collaborative and integrated future for enterprise security. By creating a shared, context-rich view of risk, the solution is poised to break down the long-standing silos between Cloud Security, Application Security (AppSec), and Engineering departments. When all teams are working from the same data and aligned on the same priorities—namely, fixing exploitable risks—the adversarial relationship that can sometimes exist between security and development gives way to a shared sense of responsibility.

This partnership is also a noteworthy development in the highly competitive Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) market. While many CNAPP vendors, including major players like Wiz and Palo Alto Networks' Prisma Cloud, aim to provide "code-to-cloud" security, this collaboration represents a "best-of-breed" approach. It combines the strengths of Tenable, a leader in broad exposure and vulnerability management, with the specialized capabilities of OX Security in application analysis and AI-driven remediation.

For organizations struggling to manage the complexity of modern software development, this unified approach offers a compelling blueprint for building security directly into the lifecycle without sacrificing speed or innovation. By ensuring that security findings are not just identified but are also actionable, contextual, and delivered to the right person at the right time, the partnership aims to make security an enabler of business, rather than a roadblock. The integration is available immediately for joint customers.
