Sarasota cybersecurity company to open office in Europe

A cybersecurity firm with a U.S. headquarters in Sarasota is expanding to Europe. Tenex, which received $27 million in Series A funding in September, announced Dec. 2 that one of its investors is DTCP, an investment management firm based in Hamburg, Germany. Now the tech company is planning to open an office overseas as it grows its client base in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).

Tenex, which uses AI and human expertise to provide enterprise security, previously said it planned to use some of the capital to expand its presence in Sarasota, hiring up to 100 skilled AI and cybersecurity professionals in the next couple years. It also has offices near Kansas City, Missouri, and San Jose.

Now, Tenex says it will locate an international headquarters in Europe and hire a team there to help protect against cyberthreats in the EMEA market.
