Tenable Launches Industry’S First Open-Source AI Agent Exchange to Advance Collective Cyber Innovation and Defense

The CyberAgents Exchange, powered by Tenable, introduces a vendor-agnostic  community for security practitioners to discover, share and build trusted AI  components 

Tenable® Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TENB), the exposure management  company, today launched the CyberAgents Exchange, a new open-source AI exchange created to foster  industry collaboration and improve collective cyber defense. The CyberAgents Exchange, powered by  Tenable, is the only purpose-built, cybersecurity-native registry for AI agents, skills, MCP servers and  multi-agent playbooks in the current market.  

Security teams are increasingly turning to AI to scale security operations and manage risk overload, but  end up building AI agents in isolation, repeatedly reinventing the wheel. Existing AI exchanges are either  general-purpose or vendor-gated, forcing security teams to wade through irrelevant use cases, waste  time on duplicate design and build efforts, or accept restrictive vendor lock-in. To improve the  cybersecurity industry’s collective defense and outpace AI-generated threats, defenders need a unified,  cyber-specific hub to accelerate development and share collective agentic tooling. 

The CyberAgents Exchange eliminates these development silos and empowers industry collaboration  with a truly open, free-to-use exchange. Built for trust and transparency, the Exchange provides code level visibility into who built each AI component, when it was created and its peer-supported status. This  transparency enables members to deploy AI components tailored to their specific organizational needs  confidently. Additionally, the Exchange is a career asset for practitioners to build verifiable expertise in  an emerging discipline and develop a catalog of peer-supported AI components.  

“The CyberAgents Exchange fills a major and pressing industry need, especially as cybersecurity remains  a growing issue and AI-enabled attacks rise,” said Seth Fogie, Director of Security for Baptist Memorial  Health Care. “Its core philosophy of working together is what made the threat intelligence community so  invaluable. My team has benefited greatly from the Exchange, and we look forward to contributing and  collaborating with the wider community.” 

Underscoring the industry’s commitment to collaborative, open-source AI defense, industry leaders  SentinelOne and Recorded Future have joined the initiative as founding members of the CyberAgents  Exchange. By contributing their deep expertise in autonomous security operations and threat  intelligence, these industry pioneers will help anchor the Exchange as a truly unified, vendor-agnostic  ecosystem. As founding members, both organizations will actively contribute secure AI agents,  integration frameworks and playbooks to accelerate the community’s defense capabilities against  rapidly evolving AI-driven threats.

In conjunction with the launch, Tenable is hosting “SWARM: The Cybersecurity Agentic AI Build Event,” a  hands-on, multi-day event at Black Hat USA 2026 sponsored by AWS and presented with support from  Anthropic. At the event, security practitioners will build open-source security agents, skill files or MCP  servers. Winners will be announced on Thursday, August 6, 2026.  

More than 50 AI components, released under open-source licenses, are available, including:

• Navi (Agent): A command-line tool that leverages the Tenable One Vulnerability Management  APIs to automate common vulnerability management and cyber exposure workflows.
• SentinelOne Purple AI (MCP Server): Allows users to access SentinelOne services with any MCP  client.  
• Recorded Future MITRE APT Attack Path Analysis (Skill): Pulls an organization’s Recorded  Future threat map, maps an APT group’s MITRE ATT&CK techniques and cross-references  against live Tenable findings to identify which attack path nodes are actively exploitable.  
• SOC-Hunter (Skill): Leveraged daily by Tenable’s internal security operations team, SOC-Hunter  provides proactive, hypothesis-driven threat hunting using the LOCK pattern across SIEM, EDR,  VM, CSPM, CASB and code search. 
• The Hounds Pack (Playbook): A skill-packaged playbook for The Hounds — 18 exposure management specialists that hunt, tag and calibrate risk.  

“Security is a team sport. We’ve addressed a gaping hole in the ecosystem of AI Agents, built for  defenders, by defenders. With the CyberAgents Exchange, we’re creating a collaborative ‘town square’  where cybersecurity practitioners can build, test, improve and share the best in agentic defense,” said  Vlad Korsunsky, Chief Technology Officer, Tenable. “With our deep roots in the open source community  and our global ecosystem of customers and partners, Tenable is uniquely positioned to steward this  collaborative effort to help scale security teams’ capabilities and outpace evolving threats.” 

“To truly scale defenses against autonomous, AI-driven threats, the security community must  move past isolated development and vendor-locked silos,” said Braden Preston, vice president of  product management, SentinelOne. “As a founding member of the CyberAgents Exchange,  SentinelOne is proud to champion a transparent, open-source foundation for agentic security. By  sharing trusted, autonomous components and collaborative playbooks, we are empowering  security teams globally to innovate faster, defend smarter and outpace modern adversaries  together.” 

“Joining the CyberAgents Exchange as a founding member lets us bring world-class threat  intelligence directly into the open-source frameworks security teams are building today,” said  Jamie Zajac, Chief Product Officer at Recorded Future. “But the promise of AI agents in security  depends entirely on whether they can be trusted. Intelligence doesn’t just make agents smarter.  It makes them traceable, auditable and repeatable. That’s the foundation the community needs  to build autonomous defense that’s not only fast, but reliable.”

The Tenable CyberAgents Exchange is a free, open-source community with no fees for listing or using  agents. For more information and to contribute to the CyberAgents Exchange, please visit:  exchange.tenable.com
