Ethical hackers move firm's HQ to Sarasota

SARASOTA — Bloomington, Ind.-based cyber security consulting and software firm Cyber Ninjas plans to move to Sarasota and eventually hire up to 10 employees.

The Economic Development Corp. of Sarasota County assisted Cyber Ninjas with the relocation decision, according to a release. The EDC didn't provide any incentives for the relocation, only information assistance.

Cyber Ninjas, the release states, helps companies incorporate cyber security into all its systems through education, policy and process development. The firm also offers ethical hacking — where it simulates what an attacker would do to an application in order to discover security issues before a problem. The firm, which offers live classes and one-on-one cyber mentoring, plans to hire eight to 10 employees after two years in Sarasota, the release states.
