Continuous Defense in the Age of AI: AI-Driven Risk Reduction with Tenable One

Continuous defense in the age of AI

In this webinar, we explore how you can use AI-driven risk reduction with Tenable One to automate proactive defense. We cover new capabilities like Adversary View, trending widgets, and the community-driven Cyber Agent Exchange.

[00:04:30] Adversary View and AI-driven exposure management

We discuss how integrating frontier AI models into Tenable One transforms exposure management by moving beyond simple bug finding to uncovering deeper attack paths.

• OpenAI and MITRE integration: We partnered with leading AI organizations to bring advanced reasoning capabilities directly into your workflow, helping you better understand and prioritize cyber risks.
• Exposure management versus frontier models: While AI models can easily find vulnerabilities, exposure management helps you determine if those vulnerabilities matter to your business by automating proactive defense.
• Attack path analysis versus Adversary View: Think of attack path analysis as standard airport security scanning for known threats, while Adversary View acts as a targeted hand-search, using AI to reason over specific assets and find complex attack paths that lack written rules.
• Actionable mitigation: Triggered via Hexa AI, Adversary View maps the attack route, provides raw scan evidence, and offers specific remediation steps to secure your environment.

[00:16:53] Trending widgets in Tenable Vulnerability Management

We recently introduced trending widgets to Tenable Vulnerability Management, allowing you to track your cyber exposure data over time.

• Custom and pre-built widgets: You can add pre-built trending widgets from the library or create custom line charts to track vulnerability counts, scan health, and mitigation progress.
• Historical tracking: Once added to your dashboard, these widgets immediately start collecting and visualizing data over time, giving you a clear view of your risk trends.
• Multi-line analysis: You can plot up to five custom data lines on a single trending widget to compare different vulnerability metrics side by side.

[00:22:24] Automating workflows with the Cyber Agent Exchange

The Cyber Agent Exchange is a community-driven, vendor-agnostic hub optimized for Tenable One, designed to help security teams share and scale AI capabilities.

• Open ecosystem: You can access and contribute AI agents, tools, playbooks, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to enhance your security operations.
• SOC Hunter skill: This self-improving threat hunting tool turns your terminal into a structured investigation workspace, cutting proactive hunt times by up to 75% and covering over 70 MITRE ATT&CK techniques.
• Community use cases: Explore a variety of community-built solutions, from vulnerability analysis browser extensions to custom portals for tracking end-of-life software and comparing scan deltas.

[00:30:50] Q&A and technical deep dives

We addressed several pre-submitted and live questions regarding operations in Tenable Security Center and Tenable Vulnerability Management.

• Tenable Core updates: We release OS updates for the Tenable Core virtual appliance every two to three weeks, following rigorous internal testing to ensure uninterrupted operation of your scanners and applications.
• Managing asset identifiers: To prevent duplicate assets from merging in Tenable Security Center when scanning cloned golden images, you must clear the unique identifier (UUID) registry keys before cloning the machine.
• Continuous assessment versus triggered scans: While triggered scans run at a specific point in time or schedule, continuous assessment monitors your existing software inventory and updates your vulnerability findings in real time as new cyber threat data becomes available.
