The time it takes to train itself is a concern. Initially, it will not identify many assets, as it needs time to read the information before finding the assets. Some detections can go wrong, and it may not understand certain industrial protocols. While installation and deployment are easy, upgrading from one version to another can be challenging. When you assure clients they will receive minus two upgrades, sometimes upgrading through the cloud becomes difficult, requiring on-site upgrades. During upgrades, the previous configuration may be lost, creating support issues.

As an IT security professional, I would like to see automation improvements in the response part of Tenable OT Security. However, I understand that implementing automation in OT environments can be quite challenging.
Tenable OT Security is fine, but I find it more language-based rather than structured. It feels like something is on a web page, and the dashboards and data representations are not cool. First of all, I said that the tool view should be improved. It looks pretty old. Second, the details Tenable OT Security provides regarding the metadata they work with should be more in-depth. Its main focus is vulnerability management, which is fine, but what about threat actors? What about attack vectors and OT vulnerabilities? There are major areas, baselines, etc. that need attention.

The solution should provide more features to prevent attacks. Currently, it only provides detection features. There is no prevention at all. Other solutions are providing such features.

It is very difficult for me to pitch it because it's in the maturing stage right now with the security. Tenable OT product is good, but OT security itself is still maturing. We are taking help from IoT, OT, and information security to improve our OT security posture.

The solution could detect changes in reading variables. The support of IoT devices can be improved.
