TENEX is a cybersecurity company that combines AI-driven detection, automation, and security expertise to deliver managed security services. The company was founded by executives who previously built Google's largest cybersecurity partner, managing over 75% of Google's security business. TENEX specializes in implementing, operating, and optimizing Google Cloud Security solutions for organizations. The company provides security operations services built on an automation-first, AI-native platform designed to detect and respond to threats. Their approach blends machine-driven processes with human expertise to deliver security outcomes for organizations ranging from mid-sized businesses to Fortune 500 enterprises. The platform was designed from inception to leverage artificial intelligence rather than retrofitting AI onto existing solutions. TENEX's founding team includes Eric Foster (CEO), who previously co-founded Cyderes and served as President; Edwin Solis (CRO), who led Google Cloud's Security Sales; Ryan Shreve (CFO/COO), a founding executive at Fishtech Group; and Venkata Koppaka (CTO), a founding engineer at Chronicle (now Google Cloud Security Operations). The company is backed by Andreessen Horowitz and Shield Capital. The company focuses on Google Cloud Security stack integration and delivers managed security services that emphasize automation to reduce operational overhead and eliminate blind spots. Their team includes former engineers from Google, Chronicle, Meta, and other technology companies.
