Former Hewlett-Packard Australia-New Zealand security specialist Timothy Dole takes over day to day management of the company.
Mr McAdam said the decision to appoint a CEO was aimed at driving growth and delivering on the existing strategy and vision for the organisation.
“Pure Hacking is a very successful and rapidly growing provider of specialist IT security services,” Mr McAdam said.
“We have achieved significant growth and with Timothy’s appointment the right senior leadership team is in place to achieve even better results in FY08,” he said.
Pure Hacking was founded in 2002 as a vendor-neutral, ethical hacking company.
So far the company has specialised entirely on penetration testing. While Pure Hacking does not name its clients, it says it has done work for some of the biggest companies in Australia, as well as for companies in 14 other countries.
Mr Dole said his big challenge would be to manage growth, to ensure the company is able to expand quickly both locally and overseas, but not at the expense of customer service quality.
He said Pure Hacking would soon announce a series of new specialist services outside of its traditional penetration testing services.
“It’s an exciting time, we have a solid growth strategy, the right management and an enthusiastic team sharing the same vision and passion,” Mr Dole said.
