Tenable’s Summer Internship Program gives student interns hands-on professional experience at our Columbia, MD headquarters. The internship program wasn’t all work; Tenable sponsored several fun events for the other interns, including influential lunch-and-learns, movie night, and an Oriole’s game. Sandra served as a QA Automation Intern on our SecurityCenter™ team. She is a rising junior, majoring in Computer Engineering at University of Maryland. Sandra sat down with us at the end of the program to discuss her intern experience and achievements.

At Tenable, we love bug reports; they give us opportunities to make our software even better.

Jay “Saurik” Freeman (@saurik), developer of Cydia, the alternative to the App Store for jailbroken iPhones, is passionate about vulnerabilities. At the 2015 Black Hat Conference in Las Vegas, we spoke to Saurik about how his passion for vulnerabilities generates the same sense of wonderment as watching a magician.
