The Rise of Generative AI in Enterprises
Generative AI tools have become integral to modern business operations, offering capabilities that range from automating routine tasks to generating complex data analyses. However, this widespread adoption introduces new security risks, including potential data exposure and vulnerabilities to malicious exploitation. Organizations often lack the necessary visibility into how these AI tools are utilized, which sensitive data might be at risk, and how attackers could potentially manipulate these systems.Introducing Tenable AI Exposure
Tenable AI Exposure is engineered to address these challenges by offering an end-to-end solution that encompasses discovery, risk management, and policy enforcement for enterprise AI platforms. This comprehensive approach ensures that organizations can safely leverage the benefits of generative AI without compromising security.Key Features
- Comprehensive AI Discovery: Utilizing insights from Tenable AI Aware and AI Security Posture Management (AI-SPM), the platform conducts continuous monitoring to identify both sanctioned and unsanctioned AI usage across the enterprise. This process provides a deep understanding of user interactions, data flows, and activities that could introduce risk.
- AI Exposure Management and Prioritization: Leveraging AI-SPM, organizations can identify, prioritize, and manage risks associated with AI exposure. This includes addressing sensitive data leakage—such as Personally Identifiable Information (PII), Payment Card Information (PCI), and Protected Health Information (PHI)—as well as rectifying misconfigurations and unsafe integrations with external tools.
- Governance and Control of AI Usage: The platform enforces security guardrails and organizational policies to regulate AI usage. This proactive governance helps prevent risky user behaviors and mitigates emerging threats like prompt injections, jailbreaks, and malicious output manipulation.
Integration with Tenable One
Tenable AI Exposure seamlessly integrates into the Tenable One platform, providing a unified view of risk across the entire attack surface. By combining Tenable AI Aware, AI-SPM, and new governance features, customers gain comprehensive capabilities to discover, manage, and secure enterprise AI usage.Availability and Future Outlook
Currently, Tenable AI Exposure is available through a private customer preview program, with general availability anticipated by the end of 2025. This initiative marks a critical step in the evolution of exposure management, enabling organizations to embrace the promise of generative AI while maintaining robust security postures.As AI technologies continue to evolve and integrate into various facets of business operations, solutions like Tenable AI Exposure will be instrumental in ensuring that enterprises can harness the full potential of AI without introducing unacceptable risks.
