PortSwigger, founded in 2008 and headquartered in the United Kingdom, has established itself as a global leader in the development of software tools for web application security testing. Underpinned by its flagship product, Burp Suite, the company has set the industry benchmark for web security professionals, ensuring the integrity of online environments worldwide.
The company operates within the Cyber Security, Information Technology, and Privacy and Security sectors. Over the past decade, PortSwigger has demonstrated consistent growth, attributed to its ultra-agile team and ongoing recruitment of top-tier Java and .NET developers near Manchester, UK.
In a strategic move, PortSwigger secured a substantial €104.70M in a Private Equity Round investment on 27 June 2024, led by Brighton Park Capital. This infusion will likely bolster its agile development capabilities and sustain its leadership in the ever-evolving domain of web security. This investment underscores the investor confidence in PortSwigger's prowess and future potential.
