The third quarter marks the sixth consecutive quarter of 45 percent billings growth or higher and showcases Tenable’s leadership in helping organisations of all sizes around the globe rethink how they manage, measure and reduce Cyber Exposure across the modern attack surface.
Cyber threats have no geographic boundaries and pose an existential threat to organisations of every size, in every sector and in every geography.

Tenable already has an established global footprint, with close to 24,000 customers in 160 countries and 22 percent of the companies on the Forbes Global 2000 list. The company has hired seasoned industry veterans to accelerate its established and growing presence in these high-growth regions.
Doug Neuman has joined Tenable as regional sales director for Japan. Neuman is a proven technical and sales leader with 15 years of experience building, leading and managing global cybersecurity teams. Prior to joining Tenable, Neuman served as the managing director for Japan at Tanium where he led the sales and technical teams, working closely with Global 2000 companies and government organisations in the region. Francisco Ramirez has also joined Tenable to lead the company’s efforts in Latin America. For over 15 years, Ramirez built successful teams in the region for industry leaders like IBM, Sourcefire, and most recently Cisco. Finally, Maher Jadallah joins Tenable as regional director of sales in the Middle East. Jadallah has spent over a decade in IT security leading teams to help grow Cisco, Sourcefire and Riverbed’s presence in the region.
