Tenable has introduced Tenable AI Exposure, an extension of its Tenable One platform that helps enterprises oversee and control generative AI tools like ChatGPT Enterprise and Microsoft Copilot. As businesses increasingly adopt AI technologies, concerns about security and data exposure have grown. Many organisations struggle to monitor AI use and protect sensitive information. Tenable AI Exposure aims to fill this gap by offering tools to manage AI-related risks effectively across enterprise environments.
Managing AI Risks in the Enterprise
The rise of generative AI introduces new security challenges that can be difficult for IT and security teams to spot. One major issue is the hidden or "invisible" attack surface created by multiple AI tools running across an organisation. Often, companies lack clear visibility into which AI platforms are in use and how data is processed or shared.
Tenable AI Exposure addresses this by integrating seamlessly into the existing Tenable One platform. It uses agentless deployment, allowing quick setup and broad coverage without disrupting existing systems. This approach gives organisations a complete picture of their AI footprint and the risks involved.
Steve Vintz, Co-CEO and CFO of Tenable, highlighted the need for a full exposure management strategy: discovering all AI use, managing associated risks, and enforcing governance policies. Tenable AI Exposure provides this end-to-end solution, giving companies the control needed to adopt generative AI responsibly while minimizing risk.
Core Features of Tenable AI Exposure
-
Comprehensive AI Discovery
The platform consolidates data from Tenable AI Aware, including AI Security Posture Management (AI-SPM) and continuous monitoring tools. This helps identify both authorised and unauthorised AI activity. Organisations gain insights into user interactions, data flows, and any suspicious or risky behaviour involving AI tools.
-
AI Exposure Management and Prioritisation
Leveraging AI-SPM, Tenable AI Exposure detects and ranks risks such as sensitive data leaks involving personal information (PII), payment card data (PCI), and protected health information (PHI). It also identifies misconfigurations and unsafe integrations with external apps, enabling teams to focus on the most critical issues first.
-
Governance and Control of AI Usage
The platform enforces organisational policies around AI tool usage to prevent risky behaviour. It defends against emerging threats like prompt injections, jailbreaks, and malicious manipulation of AI outputs, helping maintain secure and compliant AI operations.
Integration and Availability
Tenable AI Exposure is part of the Tenable One platform, offering a unified view of cyber risks across an organisation’s entire digital environment. By combining AI Aware, AI-SPM, and governance features, it provides comprehensive tools to discover, manage, and secure AI deployments.
The solution is currently available through a private preview program, with general availability expected later in 2025.
For management professionals looking to deepen their understanding of AI tools and security, exploring dedicated AI training courses can be beneficial. Resources such as Complete AI Training's latest AI courses offer practical insights into AI technologies and risk management strategies.
