Tenable has announced it is working with OpenAI as part of the OpenAI Daybreak Cyber Partner Programme. The collaboration combines OpenAI’s AI capabilities with Tenable’s exposure management platform to help organisations identify, prioritise and respond to cyber-risks through Tenable’s products and services.
The announcement comes as AI is reshaping the threat landscape. Attackers are already using AI to accelerate reconnaissance, automate vulnerability discovery and reduce the time between exposure and exploitation. Security teams face a growing challenge as the volume and complexity of potential exposures increases while the time available to respond continues to shrink.
The Tenable One Exposure Management Platform was developed to address this challenge. Rather than generating more findings, Tenable One helps organisations identify which exposures present the greatest risk. Powered by the Tenable Exposure Data Fabric, the platform connects exposure intelligence from across the attack surface and applies context to distinguish what is vulnerable from what presents the greatest risk. Combined with OpenAI’s AI capabilities, the platform helps organisations move from analysis to action more quickly, enabling security teams to focus on the exposures most likely to affect the business.
The collaboration is expected to focus on several areas, including:
- Advancing cybersecurity research and exposure intelligence
- Accelerating the identification and prioritisation of exploitable exposures and attack paths
- Improving how security teams prioritise, validate and respond to the exposures that matter most
- Streamlining security operations and accelerating risk reduction
“The AI era requires a fundamentally new approach to cybersecurity,” said Eric Doerr, Chief Product Officer, Tenable. “Attackers are moving faster and operating at a scale that makes purely reactive security untenable. As part of OpenAI’s Trusted Access for Cyber programme, Tenable is evaluating how GPT-5.5 can help accelerate defensive workflows through secure product integrations, enabling customers to stay ahead of attackers and move faster with confidence. This is what proactive security looks like in practice.”
The announcement reflects Tenable’s continued investment in AI-powered exposure management and its commitment to helping customers reduce cyber-risk as the threat landscape evolves.
