The Rise of AI and New Risks
The proliferation of generative artificial intelligence tools and autonomous systems also brings new threats. Unauthorized internal AI usage, AI-generated code, synthetic identities, and unsupervised cloud services create significant security vulnerabilities for organizations.

With the addition of Apex Security’s capabilities, it is stated that companies’ ability to implement AI policies and control AI-related risks will be further strengthened.
Integration and Strong Risk Management
Through the integration of Apex Security with the Tenable One Exposure Management Platform, users will be able to more effectively manage risks in both the AI applications they use and develop. This integration will create an important layer in terms of visibility, context, and control, and will support proactive risk mitigation strategies.
Apex Security’s Rapid Growth
Founded in 2023, Apex Security quickly managed to attract major investments and support from leading names in the industry. The company succeeded in attracting the attention of important figures in the technology world such as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Hugging Face CEO Clem Delangue, as well as major investment funds like Sequoia Capital and Index Ventures.
Behind Apex Security’s rapid growth are innovative solutions that make artificial intelligence usage secure in companies’ daily operations. The company particularly made a difference in the industry with its products that enable developers and employees to safely use AI tools in business processes.
Acquisition Process and Next Steps
Tenable aims to complete the acquisition within this quarter. The rapid integration of Apex Security’s technologies into the Tenable One platform is planned. Financial details regarding the agreement were not shared with the public.
This acquisition aims to fill an important gap in the field of AI security. Thanks to Tenable’s expanding capabilities, organizations are expected to be better prepared against the risks brought by artificial intelligence.
