OffSec

OffSec, based in New York City, is a cybersecurity education company. Its leadership team includes CEO Ning Wang and CFO Ian Charles. The firm began as an extension of the Kali Linux project and has evolved into a global training provider. OffSec generates revenue through subscriptions, certifications, and enterprise products. Its flagship offering, Learn One, costs $2,749 per year and includes one course, associated labs, and two exam attempts. Enterprise customers can purchase Learn Enterprise for $6,299 per year per user, gaining unlimited access to the learning library. The company also sells custom cyber ranges that mimic client environments. OffSec claims 14 certifications, 125+ learning paths, 750+ labs, and over 7,500 hours of content. Certifications include the widely recognized OSCP (PEN-200). The firm primarily reaches individuals and organizations in North America and globally through its online platform. It does not disclose specific geographic revenue breakdowns. The firm employs a team led by senior executives across sales, finance, product, marketing, and legal. Additional leaders include Matt Knutsen (CRO), George Chu (VP Engineering and Product), Paul Griffin (VP Customer Success), Trevor Halstead (VP Product), Kim Lucht (VP Marketing), and Donyelle Werner (General Counsel). The company has received industry awards, including a 2024 "Hot Company Breach & Attack Simulation" and "Best Cybersecurity Certification" for OSCP. No recent operational event was available from public sources. OffSec's structural differentiator is its ownership of two foundational cybersecurity assets: Kali Linux and the OSCP exam. Kali Linux is the standard offensive security toolkit used globally, while OSCP is considered a benchmark penetration-testing credential. This dual position gives OffSec brand credibility and natural distribution in the cybersecurity training market.
