Tenable® Holdings, Inc., the exposure management company, recently launched the CyberAgents Exchange, a new open-source AI exchange created to foster industry collaboration and improve collective cyber defence.
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 defence 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 catalogue 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 defence, 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 organisations will actively contribute secure AI agents, integration frameworks and playbooks to accelerate the community’s defence capabilities against rapidly evolving AI-driven threats.
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 organisation’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 defence”, 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 defences 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 defence 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
