It’s no secret that Offensive Security offers some of the best technical training in the information security field. Their brand has become synonymous with penetration testing in the eyes of most tech recruiters on LinkedIn.Some of the most common questions I get on LinkedIn are related to the OSCP/OSCE/OSWP certifications.

Offensive Security Appoints Ning Wang as CEO to Lead Organization’s Next Stage of Growth
