Minneapolis, MN – June 16, 2023 — NetSPI, the global leader in offensive security, has been named one of the Top 200 Workplaces in Minnesota by the Star Tribune.

NetSPI ranks #12 on the midsize companies list, and was honored for its cultural excellence, with special recognition for its innovation, employee appreciation, work-life flexibility, compensation and benefits, leadership, and purpose and values. These recognitions exemplify NetSPI’s values and are a core driver for its continuous growth and positive impact on the cybersecurity industry.
“Our workplace culture is the foundation of our success.

I’m proud of this team for maintaining a positive environment of innovation and collaboration not only in Minnesota, but across our global offices.”
