Story
Inside OpenAI, identity operations used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in information technology groups working out of the United States. IAM and helpdesk needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
OpenAI uses Tenable Cloud Security from Tenable as the working layer for access control. Tenable provides exposure management software that helps organizations find and prioritize vulnerabilities across IT, cloud, and OT. The practical change is simple: identity operations has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What OpenAI gets from Tenable is a durable place to run identity operations and a way for IAM and helpdesk to see the same access control at the same time.
