Thank you, Andrea, and thank you for joining us on the call today. I'm pleased to share that Tenable delivered another strong performance for Q1. Revenue grew 36% year-over-year to $80.3 million and calculated current billings grew 25% year-over-year to $81.2 million. Our performance reflects the growing opportunity for Cyber Exposure, which we believe will become the industry standard for managing and measuring cyber risk in the digital era. Cyber Exposure provides broad visibility into exposures across all connected assets and deep analytics that translates this data into actionable intelligence. The evolution of vulnerability management and the compliance to a risk-driven, higher-value added process, includes deeper analytics that combine vulnerability data with the other indicators of risk, including threat intelligence and asset criticality. This provides a more comprehensive review of cyber risk that enables CISOs and executives to take appropriate action to reduce their risk and exposure. Responsible vulnerability management is the foundation of reducing cyber risk. According to Gartner's A Guide to Choosing a Vulnerability Assessment Solution report published in April of 2019, by 2022, organizations that use the risk-based vulnerability management method will suffer 80% fewer breaches. Over the past few years, the vulnerability management market has become a much more strategic and important focus for the enterprise due to growing recognition that many breaches can be prevented through a focus on the fundamentals of good cyber hygiene. Historically, VM was largely compliance driven. Security teams focused on a limited number of traditional assets to secure PCs, laptops and servers. And they conducted periodic scans, they were checking the box and moving on. Most enterprises assessed a small sample of their environment and conducted ad hoc scans in the spreadsheets to try to centralize and prioritize data. Today, as enterprises continue their path to digital transformation, there are new assets coming online all the time. Enterprises must first identify all assets on their networks ranging from desktop computers to connected printers and cameras to cloud deployments and operational technologies. Then they must assess every single device to identify, prioritize and result thousands of known vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit. The path of entry for hackers has multiplied, and the number of breaches - preventable breaches has increased exponentially. Because of the complexity of today's digital environment, vulnerability management has also become much more complex. It can no longer be responsibly managed in silos, on spreadsheets and with manual processes. It can no longer be a cobbled together type of approach with multiple tools or outsource of the annual audit. Enterprises today are looking for a continuous and comprehensive visibility and assessment of exposures across their entire compute environments with an enterprise-wide VM solutions, such as Tenable.sc or Tenable.io or with the combination of both. And with all the new assets coming online, the increase in exposures makes prioritization even more critical than ever. Today, our customers can automate prioritization of exposures for remediation with Predictive Prioritization. Predictive Prioritization automatically prioritizes each vulnerability based on the likelihood it will be exploited. We combine our vulnerability data with our data science algorithms that tell us about the exploitability of each vulnerability and third-party vulnerability data and threat intelligence using proprietary machine learning algorithms to help customers take action on the small percentage of vulnerability that matter most to their enterprise. But Cyber Exposure is much more than a comprehensive asset coverage and exposure prioritization. The CISOs has become a central part of articulating an organization's cyber risk and guiding strategic investment decisions at the C-suite and the Board. As a result, not only has vulnerability management become more strategic, but CISO requirements for VM solutions have changed. To answer the fundamental question facing organizations today, how secure are we? CISOs need to know where to focus investments based on business risk. They need visibility into how the effectiveness of their security investment and the cyber risk are tracking over time, and how their company compares to its peers. The need for Cyber Exposure is ubiquitous. That's why we're so excited about our Cyber Exposure platform designed to address the strategic cyber risk issues that the C-suite and Board-level executives are facing every day. Over time, the release and development of Lumin will integrate and contextualize additional data alongside vulnerability information to provide even greater intelligence. Lumin uses data science to provide the measurement of Cyber Exposure, scoring and trending over time with benchmarking. We believe the growing importance of VM and its evolution to Cyber Exposure represents a huge incremental opportunity for Tenable. When we think about our market opportunity, we look at the growth in the end markets for Cyber Exposure. We look at the shift to cloud deployment. We have solutions that connect, scan and ingest data from all the major public cloud providers. And part of our differentiation is the fact that we deploy in hybrid cloud and on-premise solutions for our customers as they try and manage their hybrid compute environment. We have almost 1,000 customers who are using both our on-prem and cloud deployment combined. The market requires this type of hybrid approach to VM. We look at the growth in web applications, container usage, IoT devices coming online as we expanded opportunity for Tenable. We have solutions to address these needs. In fact, for over a decade, we've been deploying passive network monitoring capability that many of our customers use today to address their IoT requirements. Tenable is also positioned to participate in the growth of operational technologies in the security market. According to Gartner's Competitive Landscape Operational Technology Security report published in October of 2018, annual OT spent will grow at 46% CAGR through 2022. This market has been in its infancy. But according to a recent survey recommissioned with the Ponemon Institute, most organizations in the OT sector have already experienced multiple cyber-attacks, causing significant downtime and business disruptions. Consider the overall modern asset growth in the market with another quote from Gartner's Security Summit titled Fix What Matters: Provide DevOps Teams with Risk-Prioritized Vulnerability guidance presentation from 2018. "Through 2021, the single most impactful enterprise activity to improve security will be mitigating vulnerability." That's a powerful quote about the strategic importance of our industry. In our view, operating a technology infrastructure without a mature understanding and active management of cyber hygiene can be viewed as negligent. By combining forecast for connected enterprise IoT devices, cloud deployments, container instances and other new and traditional assets, we believe that our total addressable market reaches $16 billion this year. And we get very excited about the opportunity in front of us. We believe our scalable Cyber Exposure solution is differentiated by three key strengths: first, in the breadth of asset coverage. We assess vulnerabilities across the entire enterprise attack surface, including traditional and modern assets as we've been describing; second, the depth of our analytics. We combine vulnerability data with an understanding of exploitability and threat information and use our algorithm to help organizations predict, prioritize and address their highest levels of vulnerability. We have heard from a long-standing Tenable.sc customer, now using Predictive Prioritization, they have a much deeper understanding of their actual, quantifiable level of vulnerability and exposure for any given set of vulnerabilities. And this is only the first of many analytic applications we can build, which leverage vulnerability data and help organizations prioritize, measure and address their Cyber Exposure. With our soon-to-be-released Lumin product, we will include asset criticality and benchmarking as a new capability; and third, our focus on a best-of-breed singular approach to vulnerability management. We deliver breadth and depth through a singular focus on VM. Our best-of-breed approach leverages critical strategic integrations that are a key part of our strategy. We've highlighted our partnerships with ServiceNow, Splunk, AWS, Google, Siemens and numerous other companies. When I talk to customers, they want this best-in-class vulnerability management approach that's optimized to integrate and leverage the existing configuration databases, ticketing, patch management and enterprise infrastructure that they've already purchased. We provide the integrations our customers need to successfully invest and leverage best-in-class solutions. With that, I'd like to highlight just a few six figure wins from the quarter as evidence of VM's growing strategic importance and continued investment in Cyber Exposure. One of our new logo adds, a large acquisitive healthcare company, needed to create more mature, comprehensive, vulnerability management program with actionable reporting and flexibility. Their existing tool was not scalable and did not meet their needs as an organization, which was growing, and they needed to continue their digital transformation. For this, the customer required a hybrid approach, combining both Tenable.sc and Tenable.io to solve their strategic enterprise-wide VM need. Another new logo add was a global manufacturing company that was struggling with reporting and integration functionality of their existing VM solution. New asset scanning, such as IoT and web applications was also very important for this customer. Tenable.io, VM plus web app scanning solved most of their asset coverage requirements, and we're also able to bring better reporting and integration capabilities to meet their needs. In addition, the customer also told us the Tenable's brand equity helped us win this logo and the decision maker used to use Tenable.sc at a prior company. In our last example, I want to highlight one of our Nessus upsells, a large consumer packaged goods company that wanted to take their manual VM program, which was leveraged in Nessus Professional to the next level. This included a more comprehensive scanning, including the deployment of agents, external scanning, multi-cloud environment scanning, passive monitoring and integration with their ticketing systems, such as ServiceNow. And the customer told us that reporting functionality for the CIO and the Board and the robust feature set for Tenable.sc and including Predictive Prioritization was absolutely critical to our differentiation and the win. For all of these wins, we believe our continued evidence that Tenable is partnering more and more with customers interested in the best-of-breed strategic approach to understanding their cyber risk. I'd like to now turn the call over to Steve to walk through our financial results for the quarter and our outlook for the year.
