SDxCentral: Security testing firm returns as NSS Labs 2.0

NSS Labs relaunched with a new ownership structure and leadership, seeing a return for the security testing firm after its dissolution in 2020.

Founder Vikram Phatak returns as CEO for what’s being dubbed as NSS Labs 2.0, with the firm announcing it is now “wholly owned and operated by its senior partners and executive team.”

That team continues a crossover with CyberRatings.org, where NSS Labs has been named the official testing partner as part of its return to operations.

Since 2022, the non-profit, which publishes public test results and research on cybersecurity tech, has offered The NSS Labs archive, a library of material from NSS’s operations prior to its dissolution.

Additionally, Cathy Main joins NSS as chief marketing and communications officer whilst continuing in the role of president at CyberRatings.org.

With its return, NSS Labs says it is tailoring confidential, data-driven testing services to enterprises, security vendors and service providers.
