How much cyber risk does AI create for organizations? 457 million security issues. Here’s what you can do about it.

Tenable warns that AI and unapproved 'shadow AI' tools are creating massive, fast-moving security exposures—their telemetry found 457 million AI-related issues (≈62,000 per customer) driven largely by misconfigurations, exposed credentials, and unmanaged dependencies rather than headline CVEs. The blog highlights persistent unpatched CVEs across many organizations, an example where contractor-installed OpenClaw instances accessed source code and API keys, and recommends shifting from legacy vulnerability scanning to AI-driven exposure management that maps attack paths and enables machine-speed remediation.
