Tenable, a leading US-based cybersecurity company, revealed on May 21, 2026, a new partnership with artificial intelligence pioneer Anthropic. The collaboration is set to accelerate the integration of agentic artificial intelligence across Tenable's exposure management platform, addressing the increasing complexity of cyber threats.
The core of this partnership involves introducing Claude-powered workflows into Tenable Hexa AI, the company’s dedicated AI engine embedded within the broader Tenable One Exposure Management Platform. This move is designed to empower enterprises to identify, prioritize, and remediate cyber risks more effectively across their modern attack surfaces.
Boosting Exposure Management with Claude AI
Mark Thurmond, co-CEO of Tenable, emphasized the critical need for advanced solutions in today's threat landscape. "The volume of exposures is increasing, the time between discovery and exploit is shrinking, and security teams need a fundamentally different approach," Thurmond stated. He highlighted that Tenable Hexa AI is engineered to transform exposure intelligence into coordinated action at machine speed.
Through this deep working relationship with Anthropic, Tenable plans to leverage Claude's models to revolutionize key cybersecurity operations. This includes sophisticated exposure analysis, streamlined remediation orchestration, and precise risk prioritization across diverse enterprise environments.
Anthropic's Perspective on AI in Security
Jason Clinton, Deputy CISO at Anthropic, commented on the significance of AI integration in cybersecurity. "As AI reshapes cybersecurity, organizations need to integrate AI into their security operations," Clinton remarked. He expressed enthusiasm for applying Claude's advanced capabilities to help Tenable's customers gain a clearer understanding of risk, prioritize necessary actions, and respond with greater speed and efficiency.
The announcement follows the general availability of Tenable Hexa AI, which Tenable recently rolled out to its customer base, setting the stage for these new agentic AI enhancements.
