Read the blog post Explore the guided demoDeep dive into Tenable Hexa AI—the agentic engine of Tenable One 🚀
We know that for a long time, security teams had a buffer. There was a window of time: days or even weeks between a new vulnerability being found and an attacker actually using it. That window has officially collapsed. With frontier AI models now discovering and weaponizing vulnerabilities in minutes, the old way of doing things is a major risk. If your team is stuck in a cycle of manual triage, cross-referencing spreadsheets, and navigating the operational friction of coordinating handoffs between departments, you are moving at human speed against an AI-driven threat. Today at EXPOSURE 2026, we officially announced the general availability of Tenable Hexa AI. Tenable Hexa AI is the agentic engine of the Tenable One Exposure Management Platform designed to help you accelerate risk reduction and reclaim your time. What makes Tenable Hexa AI a game-changer? Your choice of agents: You can use our pre-built, out-of-the-box agents to start reducing risk immediately, or create custom agents tailored to your organization’s environment using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Advanced multi-step reasoning: Seamlessly reason across modern attack surfaces to solve complex security challenges in a single request. Automated remediation workflows: Automatically generate and route customized remediation tickets and audit-ready reports directly within the platform to kickstart your response. End-to-end exposure path insights: Uncover hidden risks via identity-aware search. Gain deep visibility into exposure paths by instantly querying service accounts, privileged users, and AD groups. Why it’s different Tenable Hexa AI wins on contextual supremacy. It is fueled by Tenable’s Exposure Data Fabric—the industry’s most comprehensive repository of contextualized exposure data. While others are guessing based on generic public models, Tenable Hexa AI is making informed decisions based on your actual business risk.

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) 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. For a detailed guide on our enhanced VPR, check out this FAQ. Want to see the why behind our scoring? View our scoring explained.March 2026 Tenable Product Newsletter

Tenable One Coming soon: Data portability for Tenable Attack Path Analysis (APA) We’re introducing Full Export for Tenable APA, allowing you to move beyond single-page views and transform high-level visualizations into actionable offline intelligence. Key capabilities: Comprehensive data: Export full datasets for Top Attack Paths and Top Attack Techniques into CSV or JSON formats. Risk context: Exports include critical metrics like Source NES (Node Exposure Score) and Target ACR (Asset Criticality Rating). High capacity: Easily trigger exports for up to 100K+ results via a new global UI button. API parity: Programmatically pull path data into your SIEM, SOAR, or custom tools using the Tenable Public API. Tenable Cloud Security This month’s updates focus on operational scale, synchronizing security standards, and automating remediation across complex multi-cloud environments. Highlight: Synchronized policy management With linked queries, you can now connect saved explorer searches directly to custom policies and reports. Eliminate manual version control: When you update a source query, every linked policy and report automatically syncs, so your security standards are identical across your entire organization. Operational control: Pause automated workflows for maintenance without losing your configurations using the new enable/disable toggle for automation rules. High-impact capabilities Actionable CI/CD pipelines: Maintain developer velocity by excluding unresolvable vulnerabilities from container image scans. This prevents noise from breaking builds when no patch is currently available. Confirmed reachability: Bridge the gap between theoretical risk and actual exposure with Network Endpoints now displayed in your Inventory to surface the actual, validated entry points for your resources. Dynamic IaC protection: Tenable now scans Terraform dynamic configurations to give you visibility into scaled infrastructure and complex definitions before deployment. Expanded compliance: Immediate support for CIS AWS 6.0.0 and the NIS2 Directive keeps your cloud accounts aligned with the latest global regulatory benchmarks. Strategic update: Domain transition Note: Critical for continued service. The Console URL has officially transitioned to app.tenable.com.
