What TENEX.AI Does
TENEX.AI is an AI-native cybersecurity firm providing managed detection and response (MDR). Its platform uses domain-specific AI to automatically triage, investigate, and prioritize security alerts in under a minute, while keeping human analysts in charge of strategic decisions, a model the company describes as "human-led, AI-native." TENEX advertises capabilities such as 10x faster detection and 100% alert coverage, and it is a launch partner for Google AI Threat Defense, building on deep roots in Google's Chronicle SecOps stack.
