Tenable AI Exposure
Overview
Product details compiled from public sources, each with a citation.
Matrix Coverage
Where this product defends, by asset class and NIST CSF function. The Coverage column shows whether each asset is Primary, Secondary, or Adjacent to what the product does. The table omits empty rows and columns.
| Asset class | Identify | Detect | Coverage | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AI-Workload Platforms | Detect: Not covered | Primary | 3 | |
| Runtime AI Data | Primary | 1 | ||
| AI Agent Identities | Detect: Not covered | Secondary | 1 |
Framework Relevance
These frameworks include controls relevant to the asset classes Tenable AI Exposure defends. This is an editorial inference from the AI Defense Matrix asset-level crossmap, not a statement that Tenable implements these controls or is certified against them.
