Tenable to acquire Apex Security, bolstering AI risk control
Tenable has announced its intent to acquire Apex Security to expand its exposure management capabilities within the artificial intelligence (AI) attack surface. The planned acquisition is aimed at incorporating Apex Security's technology into Tenable's exposure management platform, as AI adoption accelerates and new cyber risks emerge. Tenable has previously addressed AI-related security concerns through its Tenable AI Aware product, introduced in 2024, which assists organisations in identifying and assessing AI usage across their operations. The integration of Apex Security's capabilities would allow Tenable to move beyond detection and assessment, enabling organisations to govern AI usage, enforce policies, and control exposure risks for both off-the-shelf and in-house-developed AI systems. Generative AI and autonomous systems are contributing to a broader and more complex attack surface, exposing organisations to risks such as shadow AI applications, AI-generated code, synthetic identities, and unregulated cloud services. The expansion of Tenable's exposure management offering comes at a time when cyber risk management is adapting to the pace and scale of AI-driven digital transformation. Steve Vintz, Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer at Tenable, said: "AI dramatically expands the attack surface, introducing dynamic, fast-moving risks most organisations aren't prepared for. Tenable's strategy has always been to stay ahead of attack surface expansion — not just managing exposures, but eliminating them before they can be exploited." Mark Thurmond, Co-Chief Executive Officer at Tenable, spoke about the proactive need for addressing AI risks. He said: "As organisations move quickly to adopt AI, many recognise that now is the moment to get ahead of the risk — before large-scale attacks materialise. Apex delivers the visibility, context, and control security teams need to reduce AI-generated exposure proactively. It will be a powerful addition to the Tenable One platform and a perfect fit for our preemptive approach to cybersecurity." Apex Security, founded in 2023, has attracted support from Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) as well as prominent investors such as Sam Altman of OpenAI, Clem Delangue of Hugging Face, and venture capital firms Sequoia Capital and Index Ventures. The company's focus has been on securing AI usage among developers and general staff, helping address policy enforcement, usage management, and compliance challenges linked to AI adoption. Matan Derman, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Apex Security, commented on the strategic fit with Tenable. He said: "The AI attack surface is deeply intertwined with everything else organisations are already securing. Treating it as part of exposure management is the most strategic approach. We're excited to join forces with Tenable to help customers manage AI risk in context — not as a silo, but as part of their broader environment." Following the completion of the acquisition, Tenable expects to begin delivering integrated capabilities as part of the Tenable One platform during the second half of 2025. Tenable describes Tenable One as an exposure management platform which brings together visibility, context, and management for a range of attack surfaces from IT infrastructure to cloud environments. The financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed. The transaction is expected to close later this quarter, pending customary approvals and closing conditions.

Over the course of six episodes, the pair will discuss the downsides of celebrating your 150th birthday and consider whether human civilisation peaked with the penny-farthing. Richard and Warwick will deliver equal parts naive enthusiasm and sharp scepticism as they tackle the key questions facing our collective future. With assistance from comedic performer and popular science writer Helen Keen and expert guests providing actual facts, listeners will be taken on a hilarious yet informative journey – from robots to relationships – to unravel a future that nobody has ordered, but everybody will receive. Article continues below Warwick said: "I'm absolutely thrilled to have worked with Richard Ayoade on Audible's brilliant new podcast series, 'Future Tense'. His brilliantly dry wit was the perfect counterpoint to my optimism and made for a fun, dynamic collaboration, and I learned a lot along the way too." Richard added: "When I was first asked about this podcast I thought it was a bad idea, but then maybe it could be ok. And now we've made that bad or maybe ok idea a reality. I hope you listen and agree." Meanwhile, Warwick previously hosted the ITV afternoon quiz show 'Tenable' and has urged fans to rally together to get the programme back on screens after it was axed last year. Article continues below The 55-year-old actor said: "Presenting 'Tenable' was one of my favourite things to do. "I loved the show. People tell me they still watch old episodes now and enjoy it. I feel like I should video people on my phone when they say, 'We miss Tenable', and then send them to ITV!" 'Future Tense with Richard Ayoade and Warwick Davis', an Audible Original, will be exclusively available from June 5th 2025 at Membership may be required.

Tenable Announces Intent to Acquire Apex Security
Tenable has announced its intent to acquire Apex Security , an innovator in securing the rapidly expanding AI attack surface. Tenable believes the acquisition, once completed, will strengthen Tenable's ability to help organizations identify and reduce cyber risk in a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence. Generative AI tools and autonomous systems are rapidly expanding the attack surface and introducing new risks — from shadow AI apps and AI-generated code to synthetic identities and ungoverned cloud services. In 2024, Tenable launched Tenable AI Aware which already helps thousands of organizations detect and assess AI usage across their environments. Adding Apex capabilities will expand on that foundation — adding the ability to govern usage, enforce policy, and control exposure across both the AI that organizations use and the AI they build. This move reinforces Tenable's long-standing strategy of delivering scalable, unified exposure management as AI adoption accelerates. 'AI dramatically expands the attack surface, introducing dynamic, fast-moving risks most organizations aren't prepared for,' said Steve Vintz, Co-CEO and CFO, Tenable. 'Tenable's strategy has always been to stay ahead of attack surface expansion — not just managing exposures, but eliminating them before they can be exploited.' 'As organizations move quickly to adopt AI, many recognize that now is the moment to get ahead of the risk — before large-scale attacks materialize,' said Mark Thurmond, Co-CEO, Tenable. 'Apex delivers the visibility, context, and control security teams need to reduce AI-generated exposure proactively. It will be a powerful addition to the Tenable One platform and a perfect fit for our preemptive approach to cybersecurity.' Founded in 2023, Apex attracted early interest from CISOs and top investors, including Sam Altman (OpenAI), Clem Delangue (Hugging Face), and venture capital firms Sequoia Capital and Index Ventures. The company quickly emerged as an innovator in securing the use of AI by developers and everyday employees alike — addressing the growing need to manage usage, enforce policy, and ensure compliance at scale. 'The AI attack surface is deeply intertwined with everything else organizations are already securing. Treating it as part of exposure management is the most strategic approach. We're excited to join forces with Tenable to help customers manage AI risk in context — not as a silo, but as part of their broader environment,' said Matan Derman, CEO and Co-Founder of Apex Security. Following the acquisition close, Tenable expects to deliver integrated capabilities in the second half of 2025 as part of Tenable One — the industry's first and most comprehensive exposure management platform. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. The deal is expected to close later this quarter. 0 0
