A cybersecurity company known for “ethical hacking” and advising Fortune 500 firms as well as federal, state and local governments is about to move into a new headquarters.

TrustedSec is hosting a grand opening ceremony on May 6 for its new corporate complex in Fairlawn, Ohio. The new facility contains 20,000 square feet and includes state-of-the-art cybersecurity features, including a cyber war room, digital forensics lab, cyber incident intrusion center and a device hacking lab for testing Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

The company highlighted its new complex also serves as a cybersecurity hub both regionally and globally, including a cutting-edge “hacking bay” where the company will host advanced security training, hacking workshops and coding events for the information security community, businesses and students.

“We are excited to begin TrustedSec’s next chapter in Fairlawn, where we have big plans not only for the company, but also for the local community,” said David Kennedy, the founder and chief executive officer of TrustedSec and a former hacker for the National Security Agency.

“Cybersecurity has never been more important than it is right now, between the rise in geopolitical tensions and the continuing surge in ransomware and financial fraud attacks,” Kennedy continued in a news release. “Companies are on the front lines of this new cyber conflict, and we are seeing a tremendous increase in demand for our services.

“With our new complex in Fairlawn, we will be able to not only expand our business operations, but also position the region as a central hub for cybersecurity training and development for the world’s largest companies,” he went on to say.
