OffSec Marks 20 Years of Hands-On Security Training and Certifications
OffSec (formerly Offensive Security) announced its 20th anniversary in November 2026, presenting itself as a hands-on training and certification provider for individual practitioners and enterprise security teams. The announcement traces the company's path from its 2006 founding to the 2013 rebuild of BackTrack as Kali Linux, the OSCP certification, and the Exploit Database launched in 2009. It also promotes Learn Enterprise, a training platform with 14 certifications, 125+ learning paths and framework mapping to NICE and other workforce models, plus on-site Live Training added in 2026. CEO Ning Wang links the message to AI, arguing that red and blue teams both need AI literacy and that new courses are planned for next year. This is company marketing material (hackread.com, republishing a CyberNewswire release). It describes no vulnerability, exploitation or threat activity, and I found no security advisory, CVE or incident tied to it in the research, so it carries no direct defensive risk.
