Tenable launches free CyberAgents Exchange for AI security

Tenable has launched the CyberAgents Exchange, an open-source marketplace for artificial intelligence tools used in cybersecurity.

The exchange is designed as a vendor-agnostic registry where security practitioners can discover, share and build AI agents, skills, MCP servers and multi-agent playbooks.

The launch comes as security teams increase their use of AI to handle growing workloads and manage mounting volumes of risk data. Tenable argued that many teams still develop such tools in isolation, while existing marketplaces tend to be either broad in scope or tied to specific vendors.

The CyberAgents Exchange is intended to provide a cyber-focused venue where defenders can contribute and reuse agentic tools rather than duplicate work. It is free to use, with no fees for listing or using agents.

Founding members

SentinelOne and Recorded Future have joined the initiative as founding members and will contribute AI agents, integration frameworks and playbooks to the exchange.

The platform has been built around transparency, with code-level visibility into who created each AI component, when it was created and whether it has peer support. That information is intended to help users assess whether a component is suitable for their own organisations.

Vlad Korsunsky outlined the rationale for the project.

"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," Korsunsky said.

Industry backing

The involvement of SentinelOne and Recorded Future gives the exchange support from companies active in autonomous security operations and threat intelligence. Their participation also signals an attempt to create a broader ecosystem rather than a platform limited to one supplier's software stack.

Braden Preston said the security sector needs a more open model for AI development.

"To truly scale defences against autonomous, AI-driven threats, the security community must move past isolated development and vendor-locked siloes," 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," Preston said.

Recorded Future framed its role around bringing threat intelligence into tools that practitioners are already building and sharing.

"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, 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," Zajac said.

Open model

Tenable is presenting the exchange as a shared infrastructure layer for AI use in cyber defence. By centring the platform on open-source contributions and public visibility into each component's origin and status, it is trying to address concerns around trust, duplication and lock-in that have emerged as security teams experiment with AI-driven workflows.

Tenable also said the exchange could serve as a professional showcase for practitioners by allowing them to build a visible catalogue of peer-supported AI components.

The CyberAgents Exchange is available as a free open-source community with no fees for listing or using agents.
