COLUMBIA, Md., May 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Tenable®, Inc., the Cyber Exposure company, today announced that it has appointed Jerry Kennelly to its Board of Directors. Kennelly recently retired as CEO from Riverbed®, a company he co-founded in 2002, shaping it from a startup to a billion-dollar revenue company with 30,000 customers, including every single company in the Forbes Global 100.

"Jerry ranks among the most respected executives in the tech sector. His insistence on engineering excellence and customer centricity helped to make Riverbed synonymous with WAN optimization and turned the company into a force of nature," said Amit Yoran, chairman and CEO, Tenable.  "We are thrilled to welcome Jerry to Tenable and look forward to leveraging his expertise.
