Offensive Security appoints Ning Wang as CEO. Wang joins the company with proven experience in growing businesses in the security and online training markets as COO and CFO of HackerOne and Lynda.com (formerly Spectrum Equity-backed and acquired by LinkedIn), respectively. Her appointment follows the growth investment in the company, led by Spectrum in September 2018. Offensive Security was founded in 2007 and created the online penetration testing certification programs that are respected by both employers and employees alike. Offensive Security also offers virtual labs, giving users safe virtual network environments designed to be attacked by course takers to complement training courses and sharpen penetration testing skills. The number of enrolled students provisioned in the virtual labs has more than doubled in the past two years. Wang served as COO and CFO at HackerOne for more than three years, playing a role in growing adoption of its hacker-powered security platform by more than 10x during that time. Prior to HackerOne, Wang was CFO at Eucalyptus, the open source software for building private and hybrid clouds, which was acquired by HPE. During her three and a half years as CFO, CTO and later COO of Lynda.com, Wang led profitable year-over-year growth of more than 50 percent, including during the 2008 recession, and the expansion of its B2B subscription business.
