NotSoSecure specializes in penetration testing for networks and mobile applications and is the largest provider of ethical hacking training at the globally acclaimed Black Hat conferences, bringing a high level of expertise to the cybersecurity industry. The company, headquartered in Cambridge, UK, with offices in San Francisco and India, offers services worldwide.
 
NotSoSecure is focused on growing its business in the USA and, with the help of Claranet, aims to strengthen its presence in this market, as well as expand its presence in Australia and Asia.
 
Charles Nasser, founder and CEO of Claranet, said: “Our acquisition of NotSoSecure is part of our vision to further enhance the cybersecurity services and capabilities we can offer our clients, as well as access new global markets such as the US and Australia. NotSoSecure has an excellent track record and a distinguished global reputation, exemplified by its role as a leading training provider at Black Hat conferences, so we are confident that bringing the company into the Claranet Group will be extremely beneficial for our clients.”.
 
Regarding the acquisition, Sumit (Sid) Siddharth, co-founder and CTO of NotSoSecure, commented: “Since we established the business, the risk of cyberattacks against organizations worldwide has grown exponentially. However, there hasn't been a matching increase in training and knowledge. As a result, we now face serious cybersecurity skills gaps globally. Our strong presence at Black Hat conferences means we generate a lot of business in the US through word of mouth alone, so I believe we're only scratching the surface. With Claranet's backing and experience in breaking into new territories, we are well-positioned to build our service portfolio and secure our share of the market in this rapidly growing and evolving sector.”.
