Security teams are drowning. Vulnerability management platforms do exactly what they are designed to do, they surface every exposure, score it, and hand it to the security team to remediate. The problem is that in a modern cloud environment, that list can contain hundreds of thousands of vulnerabilities. And the uncomfortable truth is that fewer than 1% of them represent a genuine path to a breach. 

The question is no longer “What are our exposures?” It is “Which exposures can an attacker actually weaponize against our specific environment right now ?” 

That is precisely the question that Skyhawk Security and Tenable answer together. 

Tenable: The Industry Standard for Exposure Assessment 

Tenable is one of the most trusted names in cybersecurity for a reason. As a recognized leader in Gartner’s Exposure Assessment Platform category, Tenable enables organizations to continuously discover, analyze, and prioritize exposures across their entire attack surface — from on-premises infrastructure to cloud workloads, identities, and applications. Tenable Vulnerability Management (TVM) classifies every finding by criticality score, giving security teams a comprehensive, continuously updated picture of their risk posture. 

In autonomous AI attacks era we need to go beyond comprehensive, we need AI adversary view to prioritize in context. A criticality score tells you how severe a vulnerability is in general. It does not tell you whether that vulnerability, in your specific cloud architecture, with your specific IAM configuration and compensating controls in place, can actually be chained into an attack that reaches your most sensitive data and workloads. 

That is where Skyhawk comes in. 

Tenable and Skyhawk Security:  Security Teams That Know Exactly What to Fix 

Skyhawk Security’s Adversarial AI identifies the weaponized vulnerabilities that put your valuable business assets at risk so the team can focus on 1% of the alerts that matter:  Security teams no longer have to guess which vulnerabilities to prioritize or rely on CVSS scores as the only way for prioritization. They receive a short, validated list of weaponized risk, taking into account context and that represent genuine, proven risk to the business. The result is a fundamental shift in how cloud security operates. Instead of working through an endless backlog of alerts, security teams can focus their limited time and resources on the handful of findings that, if left unaddressed, could result in a breach. 

In a threat landscape where AI-enabled adversaries are moving faster than ever — with average breakout times now under 30 minutes — that clarity is not just operationally valuable. It is a competitive advantage. 

How does Skyhawk prove what is actually exploitable?  

Skyhawk Security’s AI Red Team takes Tenable’s exposure data and transforms it from a prioritized list into a proven attacks. Here is how the joint solution works:

Step 1: Tenable surfaces and scores exposures. Tenable TVM continuously identifies vulnerabilities across the environment and classifies them by criticality, giving Skyhawk a rich, current dataset of potential weaknesses. 

Step 2:  Skyhawk’s AI Red Team adds adversarial view. Skyhawk combines Tenable’s findings with additional contextual intelligence — considering multiple cloud security aspects such as IAM, posture, , network segmentation, existing compensating controls, and cloud-specific exposure paths — to build a complete picture of the attack surface as an adversary would see it. 

Step 3: AI-generated attack sequences, not pre-scripted playbooks. Skyhawk AI red team generates attack sequences that are specific to each customer’s unique cloud architecture and exposure profile, these are not pre-defined scenarios. These are the actual paths an attacker would take — dynamically constructed, not templated. 

Step 4: Non-disruptive validation via digital twin. All simulations are executed against a digital twin of the production environment. There is no impact to live workloads, no disruption to operations, and no risk of triggering false incident responses. 

Step 5: Proven results, not theoretical risk. The output is definitive: Skyhawk identifies which Tenable findings cannot be weaponized in the customer’s specific context — effectively clearing them as false positives — and which findings can be chained together to create a viable attack path to crown jewel assets.
