Tenable introduces new GenAI capabilities

Security company Tenable has announced new expansions to ExposureAI, the company’s generative AI capabilities for its Tenable One Exposure Management Platform.

The new AI capabilities promise to allow customers to access summaries of relevant attack paths, ask questions of an AI assistant and receive specific mitigation guidance.

The attack path summary function will allow security practitioners to view a summary generated for each attack path in a single pane of glass, complete with direction on how an attacker can leverage a live attack path within the environment.

Meanwhile Tenable’s AI assistant can answer specific questions about a summarised attack path and each node along it, while the mitigation guidance feature will include guidance customised for each attack path.

Tenable CTO Glen Pendley said research commissioned by the company has found that 67% of IT and cyber leaders have implemented GenAI to improve preventive cybersecurity practices or are planning to use it for this purpose in the next 12 months. Meanwhile 44% of IT and cyber leaders are very or extremely confident they can leverage generative AI to improve their organisation’s cybersecurity strategy.

“When cyber teams examine the risk to their infrastructure and data, often the biggest challenge is deciphering the immediate course of action,” he said. “ExposureAI, with Google Cloud, takes the guesswork out of the process and saves invaluable time in recommending the exact path to remediation.”
