Tenable Launches Open-Source CyberAgents Exchange for AI-Powered Cyber Defense

Author: Editorial Team

The company said the CyberAgents Exchange is the first cybersecurity-native platform of its kind, addressing a growing need for a centralized hub where security teams can develop, share and improve AI-powered cyber defense tools.

Tenable Holdings, Inc.  has launched the CyberAgents Exchange, an open-source platform designed to foster collaboration among cybersecurity professionals by providing a dedicated registry for AI agents, skills, MCP servers and multi-agent playbooks.

The company said the CyberAgents Exchange is the first cybersecurity-native platform of its kind, addressing a growing need for a centralized hub where security teams can develop, share and improve AI-powered cyber defense tools. Tenable noted that while many organizations are adopting AI to strengthen security operations, they often build AI agents in isolation, leading to duplicated efforts and limited collaboration.

According to Tenable, the CyberAgents Exchange offers a free and open environment that provides code-level transparency, allowing users to verify who created each AI component, when it was developed and its peer-supported status. The company said this enables organizations to deploy trusted AI tools while giving cybersecurity practitioners a platform to showcase and build expertise in AI-driven security.

“The CyberAgents Exchange fills a major and pressing industry need, especially as cybersecurity remains a growing issue and AI-enabled attacks rise. 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.”

Seth Fogie, Director of Security, Baptist Memorial Health Care

Tenable also announced that SentinelOne and Recorded Future have joined the initiative as founding members. The two companies will contribute AI agents, integration frameworks and playbooks to help strengthen the industry’s collective ability to defend against AI-driven cyber threats.

The platform launches with more than 50 open-source AI components, including AI agents for vulnerability management, threat intelligence integrations, threat hunting skills and exposure management playbooks. These resources are intended to help organizations accelerate AI adoption in cybersecurity while reducing development time and improving collaboration.

“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. 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.”

Vlad Korsunsky, Chief Technology Officer, Tenable

“To truly scale defenses against autonomous, AI-driven threats, the security community must move past isolated development and vendor-locked silos. 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.”

Braden Preston, Vice President of Product Management, SentinelOne

“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. 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.”

Jamie Zajac, Chief Product Officer, Recorded Future
