Proactive Defense: Tenable’s Role in our SOC’s Incident Prevention Strategy

Smarter SOC with Nynox and Tenable: handling incidents

As a Belgium based cybersecurity company offering SOC-as-a-Service and Managed Detection & Response (MDR), we focus on what matters, when it matters.. With more than 200 real incidents handled annually and more than 50 active clients across Belgium, we help organizations detect, understand, and contain threats, fast.

We do this by combining our in-house SOC team with proven technologies like Tenable.

What makes Nynox different?

Security teams today face a flood of diverse alerts, but… In 4 out of 5 incident response cases, the signs were already there. Companies typically rely on “classic security” like antivirus and firewalls, but nobody is actively watching those tools. We try to close that gap.

When customers are onboarded, we see that we’re able to handle or contain up to 80% of the alerts without client intervention. A number to be proud of!

So what makes Nynox different?

  • Responcentric

Many of our clients don’t have 24/7 security teams, they have a security team where someone specializes in cybersecurity. Security operations are not easy to solve if there’s no security team. That’s why we like to act first. By setting clear rules of engagement during onboarding, Nynox is able to contain incidents independently, saving clients time and stress.

“We aim to make security easy. Our user-based licensing model eliminates complexity. Customers aren’t buying a tool, they’re buying a team, a detection engine and the processes to back everything up.” 

  • Human vs. machine

AI and automations are important, but are they everything? Clients expect real people to be involved, especially in critical decisions and situations. We like to maintain a balance between smart automation and human oversight. It’s nice to be able to visit your SOC, because there’s a real person behind the scenes based in Belgium.

  • Identity

Most breaches start with identity compromises: phishing, credential theft, or poor access control. That’s why identity is the backbone of Nynox’s detection strategy. By spotting risky logins, misconfigured permissions, or unusual behavior early, threats are stopped before they escalate.

Partnering up with Tenable

At Nynox, we like to select our partners carefully based on quality and solutions. Tenable plays a key role here. Over 33% of all breaches start with an exploit and 57% of all attacks use vulnerabilities from 2020 or earlies. It’s not always: bigger, better, faster. The problem isn’t a lack of tools, it’s a lack of focus. 

Tenable helps us to pinpoint which vulnerabilities are actually exploitable. This results in better visibility into what’s exposed, faster time to remediation and a reduced risk of compromises. 

Security doesn’t have to be overly complex. Like building muscle, success comes down to doing the basics, consistently! Sleep well, eat well, train. In cybersecurity language, that means clear visibility, fast deployment, and knowing where to focus.

With Tenable, we gain that focus and deliver value in minutes, not months.
