Risk management company Tenable®, Inc. recently announced its vice president of operational technology security has been appointed to the United States’ Control Systems Interagency Working Group (CSIWG). In his new role as industry co-chair, Tenable VP Marty Edwards will work to promote and advance OT security across public and private sectors.
