Tenable earns top recognition

Cybersecurity company Tenable Holdings Inc. has been recognized by Gartner as the “company to beat” for AI-powered exposure assessment, citing its broad attack surface visibility and artificial intelligence capabilities.

In its June 2026 report, “AI Vendor Race: Tenable Is the Company to Beat for AI-Powered Exposure Assessment,” Gartner said Tenable’s strengths in vulnerability assessment, asset discovery, and AI execution position it as a market leader.

The report highlighted Tenable One, the company’s exposure management platform, for providing visibility across traditional IT, cloud, identity, container, and operational technology environments, including emerging AI attack surfaces.

According to Gartner, the platform can identify shadow AI usage and prioritize risks such as sensitive data exposure, misconfigurations, unsafe AI integrations, and emerging AI-based attacks.

“Cybersecurity is entering a new era where AI is changing both how organizations operate and how attackers exploit them,” said Mark Thurmond, co-CEO of Tenable.

“Organizations need a modern approach that not only gives them complete visibility across their expanding attack surface but helps them act on risk faster,” he added.

The recognition follows several AI-focused initiatives by Tenable, including the launch of Hexa AI, its AI engine for the Tenable One platform, expanded AI Exposure capabilities, and participation in Anthropic’s Project Glasswing and OpenAI’s Daybreak Cyber Partner Program.

“We’re still in the early innings of AI in cybersecurity,” said Steve Vintz, co-CEO of Tenable.

“The next phase isn’t just identifying exposures. It’s enabling security teams to continuously understand, prioritize, and remediate them with AI working alongside people.”
