Security for AI: A strategic framework for closing the AI exposure gap
Security Boulevard, Monday, May 4th, 2026
Tenable's five-step framework offers CISOs a systematic approach to closing the AI exposure gap - securing enterprise AI use through discovery, workload and infrastructure protection, prompt-level visibility, unified risk analysis, and acceptable-use policy enforcement - without slowing innovation.
As AI adoption accelerates, CISOs face a dual challenge: fueling innovation while mitigating the risks of a rapidly expanding attack surface.
The article from Tenable, republished on Security Boulevard, lays out a strategic framework for closing what it calls the "AI exposure gap." Securing enterprise AI use demands a combination of robust AI discovery capabilities, mechanisms to secure AI workloads and the infrastructure running AI, prompt-level visibility, the ability to analyze AI security risks alongside other exposures, and technical controls to ensure compliance with the organization's AI acceptable use policy.
