PortSwigger’s core product is Burp Suite, a set of tools used for web application security testing that originated as tooling built by founder Dafydd Stuttard. The company serves more than 20,000 organizations across 170 countries, with 80,000 individual users and well over 1,000 enterprises on its paid enterprise edition (customers include Microsoft, Amazon, FedEx and Salesforce). It also operates Web Security Academy, an educational platform with more than 1 million users. PortSwigger has been bootstrapped and cash-flow positive from the start and is 17 years old. For the first time the company accepted a substantial outside investment to scale operations and add expertise to meet growing market complexity and customer needs. PortSwigger partners with platforms like HackerOne and Bugcrowd and positions its tooling as complementary to those services.
