Tenable launches Hexa AI to automate security workflows
Tenable has made Hexa AI generally available, an AI engine designed to automate exposure management workflows within its Tenable One platform. The tool helps security teams contextualize, prioritize, and remediate risks across their attack surface by converting technical findings into actionable security steps.
The move addresses a growing problem: as large language models accelerate vulnerability discovery, security teams struggle to keep pace between detection and remediation. Manual workflows increasingly lag behind the speed of automated detection.
What Hexa AI does
Hexa AI uses exposure data and intelligence to turn fragmented technical findings into prioritized security actions. It supports multi-step reasoning and Model Context Protocol support, allowing organizations to build custom agents and integrate with existing security and IT tools.
The platform can automate processes from discovery through remediation. Teams can query environments using identity attributes such as service accounts, privileged users, and Active Directory groups to understand exposure paths.
Key capabilities
- Advanced multi-step reasoning for complex workflows
- Automated remediation actions, including ticket creation and routing
- Custom policy generation
- Audit-ready reporting
Oversight and control
Tenable built in guardrails, visibility, and auditability to support production use of agentic AI. The system maintains oversight over automated workflows while allowing teams to act faster on critical exposures.
For management professionals, the tool addresses a core operational challenge: reducing the time between risk discovery and remediation while maintaining control over automated processes. Learn more about AI Agents & Automation and how they apply to AI for Management.
