Tenable Product Update Newsletter — August 2026

Welcome to your monthly round-up of the latest Tenable product updates, platform enhancements, and community news. This month, we’re focused on agentic automation, quantum-readiness, and sharper visibility across your attack surface.

Tenable One Platform Updates

Tenable Hexa AI now supports Routines and Agent Center in Tenable One

Introducing the next major evolution in agentic security: an always-on workforce powered by Tenable Hexa AI Routines, Agent Center, and a new Jamf integration directly within the Tenable One platform. Moving past conversational search and one-off actions, mobilize an autonomous fleet that runs in the background to seamlessly coordinate multi-step security tasks across your entire exposure landscape.

  • Routines: Define an exposure workflow once and set a schedule. Hexa reasons through fresh context on every run and automatically delivers actionable results.
  • Agent Center: A central workspace to track all routines to get clear visibility into what’s running, completed, queued, or awaiting user input.
  • Jamf integration: Fetch Jamf-managed Mac context on demand and push patch policies directly back to Jamf without ever leaving Tenable One.

Available now. Get started by navigating to Agent Center > Create a Routine or the Routines tab in Hexa AI.

CyberAgents Exchange

CyberAgents Exchange and SWARM event recap

The CyberAgents Exchange, powered by Tenable, is an open-source, vendor-agnostic hub where security practitioners and CISOs can discover, share, and collaborate on AI agents, skills, MCP servers, and playbooks built for cybersecurity. This free-to-use community infrastructure allows defenders to scale their capabilities, eliminate development silos, and outpace AI-generated threats without vendor lock-in.

In conjunction with the CyberAgents Exchange launch, Tenable hosted SWARM, a hands-on cybersecurity agentic AI build event at Black Hat USA 2026 in Las Vegas.

  • Real-world solutions: Sponsored by AWS and presented with support from Anthropic, the event challenged security practitioners to build open-source components that automate real-world security workflows.
  • Winners: Congratulations to our first-, second-, and third-place winning teams! Your incredible builds are now on the CyberAgents Exchange for the global security community to adopt and build upon.

Explore the CyberAgents Exchange today, and check out our official press release and SWARM recap blog post for complete details.

Tenable One Vulnerability Management

Accelerate software discovery and compliance reporting in Explore

Seamlessly track software inventory and isolate compliance checks directly within Tenable One Vulnerability Management. The new Software and Host Audit tabs in Explore deliver dedicated views to eliminate UI clutter, track deployed application footprints, and speed up audit reporting. 

Use these views to:

  • Pinpoint software exposure: Search installed software, versions, and vendors alongside risk metrics like ACR and AES to maximize SBOM value.  
  • Isolate compliance findings: Separate CIS benchmark and hardening checks from general vulnerability noise without building complex filters.  
  • Export audit evidence: Instantly group and export targeted software inventories or configuration results for internal teams and external auditors.

Tenable One AI Exposure

Now covering all major AI platforms and developer tools

AI adoption is outpacing most teams’ ability to govern it, and every new LLM, agent, or IDE plugin adds another blind spot to the attack surface. Tenable One AI Exposure closes that gap further, adding support for Google Gemini and extending coverage across the tools where AI actually gets used inside your environment. Expanded coverage and capabilities include:

  • Full LLM coverage: Monitor prompts, responses, and usage patterns across Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, OpenAI ChatGPT Enterprise, and Microsoft Copilot, with policy enforcement and detection of risky or unauthorized activity.
  • Broader shadow AI visibility: Discover sanctioned and unsanctioned AI use across Model Context Protocol (MCP) deployments, AI-native IDEs like Cursor, Windsurf, and Trae, and AI-enabled browser extensions.
  • Faster remediation workflows: Route policy violations straight into Jira or ServiceNow, or trigger automated alerts over email, Slack, or Teams, so issues get worked instead of just logged.

Tenable One Cloud Exposure

Identify non-compliant post-quantum cryptography cloud resources

Encrypted traffic captured today can be stored and decrypted later, once quantum computing matures, a threat known as harvest-now-decrypt-later (HNDL). 

Organizations relying on outdated Transport Layer Security (TLS) configurations or non-quantum-safe encryption are exposed to this risk without even knowing it. Tenable One Cloud Exposure now helps customers identify non-compliant post-quantum cryptography (PQC) cloud resources to support future compliance regulations. We’ve added four new properties to the Network Endpoint profile for HTTPS-supported endpoints. The enhancement allows teams to:

  • Get visibility into quantum readiness: See which endpoints already support post-quantum cryptography and which don’t, so you can prioritize upgrades ahead of emerging compliance mandates. Get all non-PQC-compliant resources listed in one query.
  • Identify weak encryption faster: Surface outdated TLS versions and vulnerable cipher suites across your environment without manual audits or separate scanning tools.
  • Reduce HNDL exposure: Proactively harden key exchange methods and ciphers before intercepted traffic becomes a future liability.
  • Gain compliance evidence: Customers in regulated industries, such as healthcare and financial services, can easily prove compliance as quantum computing matures.

To find these resources in your cloud environment, go to Tenable One Cloud Exposure and filter or query “non-ready PQC resources” using the Network Endpoint page or Explorer.

Tenable One OT Exposure

Deeper IT/OT visibility for every corner of your environment

Our latest release of Tenable One OT Exposure 4.7 expands visibility for grid operators and disconnected environments, and introduces a variety of productivity enhancements.

  • OT agents for isolated networks: Get asset visibility and vulnerability coverage in air-gapped and disconnected environments (no sensors or live connectivity required) with offline scan profiles and a local agent UI for field technicians.
  • Power substation anomaly detection: Passively monitors GOOSE streams and flags anomalous activity, such as configuration revision changes, giving utilities and grid operators critical visibility.
  • Yokogawa DCS activity detection: Surfaces critical operational changes on Yokogawa Centum VP systems, so you can spot engineering activity that may signal unauthorized access.
  • Centralized subnet management: Define CIDR boundaries and toggle monitoring across all ICPs from a single interface in Enterprise Manager, eliminating per-site configuration.
  • Saved Views: Save, name, and reuse custom filter combinations across asset and findings views, cutting down repetitive setup during investigations.
  • Asset side panel: Review asset details without leaving the findings or asset grid, for faster pivoting during investigations.

Upgrade today to put these new capabilities to work in your environment.

Tenable Security Center

Sharper visibility, streamlined operations

The latest release of Tenable Security Center 6.9 brings several upgrades to help you accelerate your self-hosted vulnerability management program.

  • Updated vulnerability findings interface: Rich filtering options (severity, asset, plugin, IP-based) and surfaced Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR) insights help you zero in on what matters most, faster.
  • Tenable Nessus scanner support via Sensor Proxy: Link Tenable Nessus scanners through the Sensor Proxy service for more flexible deployments and horizontal scaling across large enterprise and Tenable Enclave Security environments.
  • Windows LAPS credential support: Dynamic credential retrieval from Active Directory (AD) strengthens scan security and reduces the admin burden of credential management.
  • Expanded PAM Kerberos authentication: Support across BeyondTrust, Delinea, and CyberArk integrations gives you tighter credential control.
  • One-click diagnostic bundle upload: Submit diagnostic files directly to Tenable Support from within your console, so we can resolve your cases faster. (Requires a valid Tenable Nessus feed license. Not supported in air-gapped environments.)
  • Trending data moves to PostgreSQL: A lighter disk footprint and better performance for your trend reporting.

Tenable Nessus

Stability fixes and continued security hardening with the latest Tenable Nessus releases

Tenable Nessus 10.12.2 and 10.12.3 are now available, resolving a scanner connectivity issue and rounding out a batch of stability fixes:

  • Your scanners stay online and up to date: We’ve addressed a bug where scanners could drop offline and stop receiving plugin updates after an upgrade, so you get consistent scan coverage without needing to manually check scanner status.
  • Fewer stuck or incomplete agent scans: Cluster-based agent scans will finish reliably, so you will not need to re-run them.
  • More accurate reporting on linked agents: You can always trust what you see in the console (requires Tenable Agent 11.2.0 or later).

Want to see Tenable Nessus in action or level up your team’s skills? View a Tenable Nessus demo or purchase our on-demand training course.

What these updates mean for you: If you were experiencing scanners going offline or missing plugin updates, updating to 10.12.3 will solve it. Tenable Agent customers should update to v11.2.0 or later to get the linked-agent plugin reporting fix.
