Exposure management company Tenable on Wednesday released its new security solution for artificial intelligence and Large Language Models (LLMs) — AI Aware. The solution provides exposure insight into AI applications, libraries and plugins so organisations can confidently expose and close AI risk, without inhibiting business operations.
Tenable AI Aware
The rapid development and adoption of AI technologies in the past two years has introduced major cybersecurity and compliance risks that organisations must proactively address without established best practices. As a result, cybersecurity teams face significant AI-related challenges, such as vulnerability detection and remediation, containing data leakage and reining in unauthorised AI use.
According to recent Tenable Research, more than one-third of security teams are finding usage of AI applications in their environment that might not have been provisioned via formal processes. In fact, during a 75-day period between late June and early September, Tenable found over 9 million instances of AI applications on more than 1 million hosts. The cybersecurity risk of unfettered AI usage is compounded by the increasing volume of AI vulnerabilities. Tenable Research has found and disclosed several vulnerabilities in AI solutions, including in Microsoft Copilot, Flowise, Langflow, among others.

Tenable AI Aware leverages agents, passive network monitoring, dynamic application security testing and distributed scan engines to detect approved and unapproved AI software, libraries and browser plugins, along with associated vulnerabilities, thereby mitigating risks of exploitation, data leakage and unauthorised resource consumption. The combined depth of these multiple assessment methods delivers the most complete detection of AI in the modern ecosystem.
“In an effort to keep pace with the sea change introduced by AI, organisations around the world ran full speed ahead, potentially bypassing countless cybersecurity, privacy and compliance red flags,” said Shai Morag, chief product officer, Tenable. “Perhaps more so than with any other new technology we’ve seen, there are many risk factors to consider, especially with rushed development and deployment. Tenable AI Aware empowers organisations to deploy AI confidently, ensuring their security measures keep pace with the rapid evolution of AI technologies.”
