Niloo brings an incredible track record of supporting companies equipped for major market disruption and will support NetSPI at a pivotal moment as the company revamps its product strategy.
“The attack surface is expanding as new technologies are implemented at a breakneck pace.

I’m thrilled to support the NetSPI team as they continue to build solutions to these real, table stakes issues and help organizations get proactive with their security.”

This appointment follows consecutive years of high growth for NetSPI. In 2022, the offensive security company achieved 58 percent organic revenue growth, driven by continuous adoption of its Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS), Attack Surface Management (ASM), and Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) platforms.
