History[edit]
Tenable was founded in 2002 as Tenable Network Security, Inc. by Ron Gula, Jack Huffard, and Renaud Deraison.[2] In 2005, Nessus became proprietary software, rather than open-source software, to generate income for the company.[3]
In September 2012, Tenable received $50 million in series A round funding from Accel Partners.[4] Also that month, the company entered into a partnership to provide cybersecurity services for the United States Intelligence Community.[5] In 2015, Tenable received $250 million in a series B round led by Insight Partners.[6] In 2017, the company was renamed Tenable, Inc.[1] In July 2018, the company became a public company via an initial public offering.[7]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
