I sat down to geek out over how AI is totally shaking up the cybersecurity space for both attackers and defenders when it comes to exposure management. We also got into the weeds on their awesome new autonomous AI agent, Hexa, and all the cool tools they'll be dropping at Black Hat to help teams tackle AI vulnerabilities head-on.

What we talk about:
The evolution of exposure management: How organizations can identify, prioritize, and remediate cybersecurity risks across their ever-growing digital footprints.
AI as a double-edged sword: The ways AI introduces new attack vectors like prompt injections and speeds up threat weaponization, while simultaneously empowering defenders to detect and resolve issues in minutes rather than weeks.
Why context is king: The critical role of deep internal data—like identifying business crown jewels and locating the specific developers who own vulnerable code—in effectively prioritizing threats.
Meet Hexa, the AI security assistant: A deep dive into Tenable's identity engine, which acts as an autonomous team member capable of investigating issues and taking action using Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Upcoming Black Hat announcements: A sneak peek at new AI exposure governance features and the launch of the Cyber Agent Exchange, an open-source hub for security teams to share custom AI agents and skills.
00:00 - What is the main problem Tenable is addressing?
01:04 - How AI is changing the exposure management space.
03:24 - Who benefits faster from AI: attackers or defenders?.
04:43 - Using AI to gather asset and organizational context.
07:22 - Factoring business type and threat models into prioritization.
10:21 - The most exciting AI features currently in the platform.
13:19 - Integrating Model Context Protocol (MCP) and agent interactions.
15:05 - Moving away from dashboards to AI-driven workflows.
19:22 - Upcoming Black Hat announcements and the Cyber Agent Exchange.
