What is Tenable AI?
Tenable created Nessus, the most widely deployed vulnerability scanner, and evolved into Tenable One — a unified exposure management platform correlating vulnerability data with asset criticality, attack path analysis, and AI risk prioritisation. Exposure AI enables natural language vulnerability queries and executive-ready summaries. Attack Path Analysis models how attackers chain vulnerabilities across the network, identifying highest-value remediations. Asset Criticality Rating weights severity by business importance. Tenable One covers IT (Tenable.io), OT (Tenable.ot), cloud (Tenable.cs), and identity (Tenable.ad). FedRAMP authorisation addresses US government deployments. 44,000+ organisations use Tenable globally.
How Tenable AI works
Tenable AI runs as ml platform software built around data and text workflows. Users typically start with a prompt, upload, or connected data source, and the underlying model handles the heavy lifting before returning a result you can refine or export. It's available on web and api.
