The award recognizes the proactive cybersecurity leader’s exemplary management and innovation for the fourth consecutive year
Minneapolis, MN – March 24, 2025 – NetSPI, the leader in proactive cybersecurity solutions, announced that it has again been recognized as a USA TODAY Top Workplaces award winner in the U.S. Powered by Energage, this annual award celebrates nationally recognized companies that make the world a better place by prioritizing a people-centered culture. Winners of the 2025 Top Workplaces were selected based on an anonymous third-party employee survey that evaluates key facets of workplace culture, including alignment, execution, and connection.
This accolade comes at a time of significant momentum and innovation for NetSPI. In 2024, the company achieved double-digit revenue growth and expanded its workforce by more than 30 percent. It also introduced The NetSPI Platform, a unified proactive security platform that combines cutting-edge technology with human-driven expertise to provide businesses with a more holistic and accurate understanding of their risk profiles.
“At NetSPI, our success begins and ends with our people. To be recognized by USA TODAY for a fourth year in a row reflects our team’s unwavering commitment to innovation, customers and each other,” said Aaron Shilts, President and CEO of NetSPI. “Today’s businesses are under increasing pressure to maximize impact with fewer resources at their disposal, especially in cybersecurity. We’re proud to support more than 2,000 global customers to meet this challenge head-on, not only by delivering world-class solutions, but by extending our top-tier team of NetSPI Agents to personally help identify vulnerabilities and prioritize remediation.”
The award recognizes NetSPI for its cultural excellence, specifically innovation, employee appreciation, work-life flexibility, compensation and benefits, leadership, and purpose and values. These acknowledgments reflect the company’s commitment to its core values and serve as fundamental drivers behind NetSPI’s growth and positive influence in cybersecurity.
