Tenable Uses OpenAI GPT Cyber Models to Help Defenders Inspect Community-Built AI Components
CyberAgents Exchange AI Inspector combines OpenAI GPT cyber models with Tenable security expertise to help teams evaluate AI agents, skills, MCP servers and multi-agent playbooks before deployment
COLUMBIA, Md., Sept. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tenable® Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TENB), the exposure management company, today announced that it is collaborating with OpenAI to create the CyberAgents Exchange AI Inspector (Exchange Inspector), a new security review process for AI agents, skills, MCP servers and multi-agent playbooks available through the CyberAgents Exchange, powered by Tenable.
Unveiled today at OpenAI’s Intelligence at Work: Cyber Summit, Exchange Inspector combines frontier assessment, skills inspection powered by Tenable One AI Exposure and expert review from Tenable researchers, to enable security teams to safely accelerate enterprise adoption of agentic AI. The collaboration grew from Tenable’s participation in the OpenAI Daybreak Defense Network. Exchange Inspector is expected to be available in September.
Launched in August 2026, the CyberAgents Exchange is an open-source, cybersecurity-native registry for AI agents, skills, MCP servers and multi-agent playbooks in the current market. Following its recent SWARM build event, hosted by Tenable at Black Hat USA, the Exchange now includes more than 100 community-submitted AI components.
“Agentic AI will only reach its potential in the enterprise if security teams can trust the components being introduced into their environments,” said Eric Doerr, chief product officer at Tenable. “By combining OpenAI GPT cyber models with Tenable’s security expertise and researcher review, we’re building a more rigorous way to inspect community-built AI components before they’re used in enterprise environments. This is an important step in applying frontier AI to help defenders identify and prioritize risk across the growing agent ecosystem.”
The Intelligence at Work: Cyber Summit event convened top cybersecurity leaders to discuss how frontier AI can help defenders move faster, strengthen enterprise resilience and turn threat findings into actionable fixes at enterprise scale. Hosted by OpenAI, the event highlighted defensive security applications being developed with cybersecurity companies, including ways to bring advanced cyber reasoning into the platforms and workflows defenders already use.
