FeatureThere is nothing culturally different between cybersecurity, IT or any sector for that matter. It is more about progressive organisations versus those that hold a more rigid or traditional view of the workplace and employees within that.
The pandemic has forced many organisations to reconsider this stance, particularly as many had to shift to accommodate work-from-home mandates globally. The standard approach of desks within a physical building has been replaced by a hybrid workforce, able to work from anywhere. The biggest challenge for most has been how to secure this fluid and, in most cases, eroded perimeter.
Diversity empowers us to achieve greater creativity and innovation
Diversity empowers us to achieve greater creativity and innovation, allowing us to think outside the box, and drive innovation that allows us to grow closer to our customers, partners, and communities.
We recognise there is no perfect candidate, in terms of experience or expertise, it is the person that matters most. The approach is to look for people that have the same values and who will thrive as a member of the team.

The challenges for cybersecurity companies mirror that of IT, and other sectors. Tenable has an expansion plan for the year ahead, in terms of headcount, so attracting and retaining the best talent is important to us. But it is more than that.
The culture at Tenable is one where every employee feels seen, valued, welcome and has a sense of belonging. Like many, we have adopted a hybrid working policy giving each and every employee the freedom to do their best work, unhindered by the confines of a physical office or desk.
We invest in our people, with each employee given access to professional development activity funding and tuition bursaries that can be used to further their careers. We want our people to feel confident in their ability and performing at the top of their game, which we know will make them attractive to our competition, and we strive to make everyone feel recognised, empowered to be their best, and competitively remunerated so they don’t want to leave Tenable.
We seek to cultivate our diverse and inclusive workforce, building an environment that we believe helps us all achieve exceptional business results. To do this, we offer a number of internal employee resource groups.

These groups offer a space for employees with a shared connection to come together and learn from each other. They also provide opportunities for our employees to learn about the uniqueness of other cultures and things we might share in common.
We strive to be a career destination where employees from all backgrounds are welcome and empowered, treated with fairness and respect, presented with opportunities to make a difference, and provide opportunities to grow.
We do not have tools to monitor and track employee life, but we do offer tools and resources that our employees can access anytime they feel they need a boost or helping hand.
We believe that mental health is a critical part of overall health and wellness, and it is important employees feel their best so they can continue to do their best, so we offer resources to help our team plan how they can make mental health a top priority.

Our Employee Assistance Program offers specialised assistance to help manage many of life’s complexities by supporting mental, physical, social, and financial well-being.
Around the tenable community, we have a number of peer-inspired initiatives, including a Peloton Slack channel, running and walking groups, and other opportunities for like-minded individuals to get together and network.
Tenable’s Bridgett explains what makes the vendor different leading to recognitions of Best Company Culture, Best Company for Diversity, amongst others.
