Tenable Honors Amit Yoran with Donation to the ISSA
July 29, 2025
In honor of their former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Amit Yoran, Tenable, Inc., has donated $6,500 to the Information Systems Security Association Education Foundation (“ISSAEF” or “the Foundation”). Yoran passed away from cancer in January of this year. He had led Tenable since 2017.
Having served in a number of information security roles – including National Cybersecurity Director for the Department of Homeland Security, and as a member of the board for the Center for Internet Security – Amit was well known throughout the community. Several members of the ISSAEF board knew Amit personally, so it was an honor for the Foundation to receive such a gift.
“That this contribution came in Amit’s name makes it that much more meaningful,” noted ISSAEF President and ISSA International Vice President Deb Peinert.
ISSAEF Fundraising Chair John Johnson was equally appreciative, “As a non-profit, we are always seeking donations, so this will allow us to fully fund two scholarships this year.”
In 2024, the ISSAEF awarded eleven grants and scholarships from $500 to $3,500, totaling more than $15,000. In addition to memorial scholarships in the name of Howard A. Schmidt, Eugene Schultz, Jr., and Shon Harris, the Foundation manages scholarships for the Docent Institute, Alamo ISSA Chapter and continuing education grants for SANS, the Cloud Security Alliance and ACI Learning.
The Foundation welcomes donations, which can be made on our donation page (https://issaef.org/scholarships/donate/) or via check to
