As Gartner defines the EAP category as a core pillar of Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), Nucleus Security has emerged as the leading platform for operationalizing discovery, prioritization, and mobilization. Nucleus 3.0 provides the “operational data fabric” necessary to manage exposure across the modern, hybrid attack surface, including IT, cloud, OT, and AppSec environments.
A major innovation in 2026 is the introduction of automated tracking of End-of-Life (EOL) and End-of-Support (EOS) operating systems. By making lifecycle risk a continuously calculated signal, Nucleus enables organizations to meet rigorous mandates (such as CISA BOD 26-02) and move beyond reactive patching toward proactive lifecycle governance.
Furthermore, the Nucleus Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server introduces a governed framework that enables teams to interact with their exposure data using natural language. This democratizes security data, allowing non-experts to query complex environments and understand their exposure instantly. By integrating with 200+ tools, including being named one of the “Most Popular New Integrations” in the Wiz Integration Network (WIN), Nucleus ensures that exposure data is always current, clean, contextual, and operational in a Live Data Core. This commitment to an open ecosystem and practical AI-driven orchestration makes Nucleus the leader in unified exposure management.
