Tenable Partners with Anthropic for AI-Driven Exposure Management

Tenable® Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TENB), the exposure management company, has announced new AI initiatives with Anthropic to accelerate agentic capabilities across the Tenable One Exposure Management Platform. The collaboration comes as organizations confront a rapidly evolving threat landscape shaped by frontier AI.

The initiatives include new Claude-powered workflows in Tenable Hexa AI — the agentic engine of the Tenable One platform built to turn exposure intelligence into coordinated action at machine speed. Anthropic also participated in EXPOSURE 2026 in Boston, where industry leaders gathered to discuss how frontier AI is reshaping both cyber risk and defense.

Tenable will apply Claude to real-world cybersecurity operations — including prioritization, remediation orchestration, and exposure analysis across modern attack surfaces — marking a significant step toward AI-powered, preemptive security programs for enterprises worldwide.

"The volume of exposures is increasing, the time between discovery and exploit is shrinking, and security teams need a fundamentally different approach. That's why Tenable has developed a deep working relationship with Anthropic. With Claude-fueled innovations we are accelerating R&D and our exposure management roadmap, while rapidly advancing solutions like Tenable Hexa AI so customers can strengthen their preemptive security programs, powered by agentic workflows."

— Mark Thurmond, Co-CEO, Tenable

Tenable Hexa AI: Agentic Security at Machine Speed

At the heart of this partnership is Tenable Hexa AI, the agentic engine powering the Tenable One Exposure Management Platform. Unlike traditional security tools that simply identify risk, Hexa AI is designed to turn exposure intelligence into coordinated, automated action — closing the gap between detection and remediation at a pace no human team can match alone.

Hexa AI is fueled by the Tenable Exposure Data Fabric, which combines native telemetry, third-party data, and insights from Tenable Research. This rich data foundation gives Claude-powered workflows the context needed to prioritize and remediate cyber risk intelligently across the modern attack surface — from IT infrastructure to cloud environments to critical infrastructure.

The general availability of Tenable Hexa AI was announced separately at EXPOSURE 2026, underscoring Tenable's commitment to embedding agentic AI deeply into the fabric of its exposure management offering. With Claude integrated into these workflows, the platform gains advanced natural language reasoning capabilities that further sharpen prioritization and orchestration decisions.

Anthropic's Role in the Future of Cybersecurity

Anthropic's participation in EXPOSURE 2026 signals the company's growing involvement at the intersection of frontier AI and enterprise security. As AI systems become more deeply embedded in business operations, ensuring that AI is also actively defending those systems becomes a strategic imperative.

"As AI reshapes cybersecurity, organizations need to integrate AI into their security operations. We're excited to work with Tenable to apply Claude's capabilities to help customers better understand risk, prioritize action, and respond faster."

— Jason Clinton, Deputy CISO, Anthropic

What This Means for Enterprise Security Teams

The speed and scale of modern cyber risk has outpaced traditional security approaches, leaving organizations struggling to keep up with an ever-expanding attack surface. Security teams are overwhelmed with scattered tools, siloed data, and fragmented workflows — making it increasingly difficult to act on risk before it becomes a breach.

By integrating Claude into Tenable Hexa AI, Tenable is advancing a future where AI doesn't just identify risk but actively helps organizations reduce it through intelligent orchestration and automated action. Security analysts gain a powerful AI collaborator capable of reasoning across complex, multi-source exposure data to surface the highest-priority risks and recommend precise remediation steps.

This partnership builds on Tenable's broader momentum in AI-powered security — including the recent launch of Tenable AI Exposure, the acquisition of Apex Security to help organizations secure both the AI they use and the AI they build, and FedRAMP moderate authorization of Tenable One and Tenable Cloud Security — all reflecting the company's strategy to lead the industry's shift from reactive security to preemptive exposure management.

Key Capabilities Powered by the Partnership

The Tenable–Anthropic partnership represents a defining moment in the evolution of enterprise cybersecurity — one where frontier AI becomes an active participant in defending organizations, not merely a tool for detection. As the threat landscape grows faster and more complex, the combination of Tenable's deep exposure management expertise and Claude's advanced reasoning capabilities offers security teams a genuinely new way to stay ahead of risk.

For organizations looking to modernize their security operations and embrace preemptive, AI-powered exposure management, this partnership sets a compelling new benchmark. Learn more about Tenable's exposure management platform at tenable.com.
