NetSPI Named a Minnesota Top Workplace 2025 for Fifth Year in a Row
Based on employee feedback, the award highlights NetSPI’s commitment to fostering a supportive environment, enabling career growth and innovation
Minneapolis, MN – June 16, 2025 – NetSPI®, the proactive security solution, earned a Top Workplaces 2025 award, the Star Tribune’s annual recognition of the best local companies, marking the fifth consecutive year NetSPI has received this prestigious honor.
NetSPI’s local recognition comes off the heels of receiving national attention as a USA TODAY Top Workplaces award winner in the US. This continues the company’s momentum following a milestone year in 2024, driven by revenue growth and internal workforce expansion.
“Our team members remain the cornerstone of NetSPI’s success,” said Heather Crosley, Chief People Officer. “To be recognized within our own community as a Top Workplace for the fifth year in a row is a testament to the dedication of the entire NetSPI team. As today’s global businesses continue to navigate the pressures of an ever-changing cybersecurity landscape, we are proud that our customers are supported not only by our cutting-edge proactive solutions, but also by a team of over 350 in-house security experts who specialize in today’s most pressing issues. This passion to deliver world-class proactive security solutions has shaped NetSPI into an environment defined by innovation, supportive management, meaningful relationships with colleagues, and important work that drives our purpose.”
The Top Workplaces 2025 list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage LLC. The confidential survey uniquely measures the employee experience and its component themes. This includes employees feeling respected and supported, enabled to grow, and empowered to execute, to name a few.
“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,” said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. “That’s something to be proud of. In today’s market, leaders must ensure they’re allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That’s paramount. Top Workplaces do this, and it pays dividends.”
NetSPI’s recognition as a leading workplace year-over-year underscores its commitment to fostering a culture that is reflective of its core values: collaborate, innovate and deliver. By challenging the status quo, NetSPI empowers its team to tackle one of the greatest challenges our world faces – cybersecurity.
