Plus, this month we’re featuring the launch of the CyberAgents Exchange, powered by Tenable. Keep reading to read more about the new open-source AI exchange! Tenable One - Platform updates Integrate application security data into Tenable One for code-to-runtime security Your codebase is growing faster than your security program, and in the age of AI, developers are introducing security findings at 10 times the rate of their peers. It is critical to see code as part of your entire attack surface. Application security data now integrates directly into Tenable One to further close visibility gaps and ensure secure code development in the AI era. Whether code is human- or machine-written, you can now integrate application security risks, like those from Snyk, Claude Security, or any other application security tool via Tenable One Connectors — directly alongside your existing exposure data. What this means for you: Achieve full code-to-runtime visibility by bringing application security risks together with the rest of your exposure data in one place. Fix code flaws before they become incidents by identifying your most business-critical code flaws and fixing them early in the development lifecycle. Measure organizational exposure and transform technical static code vulnerabilities into clear risk metrics on business resilience. Read the blog post Explore the guided demo Check out Open Connector documentation and Snyk Connector documentation Improved workflow orchestration capabilities in Tenable One Vulnerability Management and Tenable One New enhancements to Tenable's workflow orchestration capabilities are now generally available. This release streamlines remediation workflows and improves operational efficiency with the following key updates: Plugin output in tickets: You can now attach Plugin Output directly to tickets, providing immediate context and critical information while eliminating the need for further navigation. Tenable Hexa AI for ServiceNow: You can now leverage Tenable Hexa AI for ServiceNow incident and initiative creation to match already available Jira functionality. Review the exposure management release notes Review the Tenable Vulnerability Management release notes Tenable unified scoring is now live Tenable has unified its risk prioritization standard, moving the high-fidelity Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR) model out of beta to become the sole standard. To sharpen your prioritization, an updated asset classification engine also delivers more accurate Asset Criticality Ratings (ACR) for your assets. Because VPR and ACR feed directly into your Cyber Exposure Score (CES) and Asset Exposure Score (AES), your console will automatically update to reflect a precise understanding of your exposure. These recalculations occur automatically, though completion times depend on the size of your environment. To prevent errors in your saved views, you must manually update any filters or combinations that still use VPR v1. No data migration is required.

At Tenable, we are committed to providing the most accurate, defensible, and actionable view of organizational risk. To achieve this, we must continually refine the intelligence that powers your prioritization. On July 1, 2026, we are implementing a series of foundational updates to our risk scoring engines. As part of this update, you may see changes to your risk scores, depending on the Tenable product(s) you own. These changes simplify your workflow by standardizing scoring on a single, high-fidelity model for vulnerability and asset risk. The new standard for VPR For the past several months, many of you have utilized VPR (Beta) to gain deeper insights into exploitability. We are excited to announce that on July 1, this model will be promoted to the primary Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR) across the Tenable platform. By standardizing on this advanced model, we are retiring legacy VPR scoring to ensure every customer benefits from our most sophisticated threat intelligence. The new version of VPR incorporates more threat intelligence and vulnerability metadata so that you can focus on the 1.6% of vulnerabilities that actually matter. Better context through enhanced asset classification Alongside the VPR update, we are enhancing our asset classification engine. This update improves how we identify the function and importance of assets across your entire attack surface, including Cloud, OT, and third-party devices. As a result, customers with access to Asset Criticality Ratings (ACR) for VM assets will see these scores more accurately reflect real-world business risk. What this means for you These are backend enhancements designed to provide immediate value with zero manual configuration. On July 1, your dashboards, reports, and APIs will automatically reflect these updated metrics. Because both VPR and ACR serve as inputs to Cyber Exposure Score (CES) and Asset Exposure Score (AES), customers using these scores may see changes that reflect a more accurate understanding of exposure. Customer FAQ What happens to the VPR (Beta) score in the Tenable UI? The Beta label will be removed. The high-fidelity model you’ve been previewing will become the standard VPR. The legacy version of VPR will be retired to ensure a single, unified source or truth. Do I need to rewrite my custom API scripts using VPR? No. For customers using APIs, updated values will be mapped into legacy VPR fields on the back end to ensure compatibility and a smooth transition for your scripts and third-party tools. How does this affect my SLAs? Because many organizations use VPR as their operational prioritization layer, your SLA statistics and remediation tracking will now reflect the more precise scoring model. This helps ensure your team is meeting response goals for the vulnerabilities that pose the highest actual risk. How does Enhanced Asset Classification affect my scores? The system now automatically identifies the function and criticality of assets across Cloud, OT, and third-party sources. This improved context leads to more accurate Asset Criticality Rating (ACR) adjustments. For customers with access to ACR, this ensures your most critical business assets are effectively prioritized. What actions does my team need to take, and when will the changes be reflected in my container? These updates will occur automatically within your Tenable console. Depending on the size of your environment, it may take time for score recalculations to be fully reflected across your console. For a detailed guide on our enhanced VPR, check out this FAQ.

The work of validating, prioritizing, and remediating vulnerabilities alongside other security weaknesses to understand the true exposure they create has become much more urgent, as frontier AI models accelerate vulnerability discovery. Validation in exposure management is a key capability to help you understand which exposures attackers can actually reach by understanding the accessibility and exploitability of an attack path. Today, we’ve added important validation capabilities in Tenable One with continuous security control validation. By factoring in your active security controls, Tenable One helps eliminate the noise of theoretically exposed assets that are functionally blocked from exploitation. What this means for you: Prioritize exposures more effectively by seeing which attack paths are mitigated by active prevention and detection controls. Accelerate investigations and triage by filtering top attack paths and attack techniques based on the presence of security controls. Understand control context and status by viewing security control information in the node details view. Ready to check out continuous control validation in Tenable One?

The Tenable One Open Connector Connect more. See more. Act faster. We built Tenable One to be the open, connected hub that turns your scattered tools into a one-stop shop for risk reduction. While our standard Connectors already keep your favorite tools in sync, we’re taking integration to the next level with the new Tenable One Open Connector. We're no longer just talking about official integrations; we're talking about bringing in your data from across unsupported or custom tools, spreadsheets, and even homegrown internal systems. What this means for you: Get a more complete view of risk by bringing your security data together in a single, contextual view. Unlock an open, flexible platform for your security stack by staying independent of pre-built integrations. Act faster with automated data syncs that keep your information always current. Tailor your data mapping to enable precise segmentation that fits your organization’s needs. Ready to achieve a truly unified view of your entire attack surface? Read the blog and view the demo. To get started, see the setup guide. Lifecycle management in attack path analysis Take control of your security workflows with our new lifecycle management features in attack path analysis. You can now manually transition attack techniques through specific stages — To Do, In Review, In Progress, Resolved, and Excluded — to ensure seamless collaboration across your team. What’s new: Manual technique control: Track progress accurately by assigning specific statuses to each technique. Smart attack path sync: When you update a technique’s status, the system automatically updates the status of all related attack paths to reflect that change. Unified workflow: Align your team around a shared lifecycle, providing a clear and consistent view of every identified threat. Learn more. Tenable One + Recorded Future integration Our new Recorded Future connector bridges the gap between your internal exposure data and the external threat landscape, giving you a single source of truth to accelerate remediation where it matters most.

Tenable One Cloud Exposure This month, we are focusing on automated orchestration and shifting security further left into native developer workflows. What's New: Retroactive cloud automations: Apply new or re-enabled automation rules retrospectively to your entire backlog of cloud findings to wipe out historical cloud risks in a single click. 280 cloud-native secret types: Our original generic categories are now split into 280 specific data types (like GitHub App Tokens), allowing you to customize sensitivity criteria to fit your exact cloud compliance requirements. Native PR scanning (IaC): Catch security risks natively inside GitHub and Azure DevOps pull requests so developers can fix configuration errors directly on the relevant lines of code before merging. Windows container scans: Maintain robust protection across your entire application footprint with shift-left vulnerability scanning that now supports Windows-based container images within cloud CI/CD pipelines. On-demand registry scans: Manually push critical cloud container images or full repositories to the top of the scan queue to instantly verify your security fixes. For more information on these updates, please view “documentation” inside the Tenable One Cloud Exposure interface. Tenable One Vulnerability Management Automate remediation with direct ticketing Stop bouncing between disconnected tools. You can now create Jira or ServiceNow tickets directly within your Explore Findings view and launch Exposure Response Initiatives straight from Vulnerability Intelligence. Even better, Tenable automatically closes these tickets the moment a vulnerability is fixed, eliminating tedious manual cleanup for your team. To keep your security and IT teams aligned, we've also added live ticket log tracking inside the finding details page, new ticket filters for your findings table, and easy exports for Exposure Response logs. To get started, check out our documentation or interactive tour. Clear your blind spots and validate your security coverage To protect your network, you need to know your security tools are working correctly. New dashboards and reports help you eliminate hidden gaps and prioritize fixes faster. The program health dashboard monitors your deployment health and scanning coverage. It gives you a central view to ensure your security agents are active and fully patched, preventing silent operational failures. The program health report unifies fragmented asset data and scan authentication indicators into a single document. It resolves conflicting inventories and credential issues, giving you a clean, trusted report to plan and execute remediation. The endpoint application visibility dashboard cuts out the hours your team spends hunting down software inventories. It automatically consolidates application data across endpoints so you can prioritize fixes based on real-world exploit likelihood and deployment scale.
