Our flagship product, Burp Suite, is now used by more than 15,000 organisations in over 150 countries, helping everyone from startups to tech giants like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google secure their digital infrastructure

Reflecting this international momentum, we’ve recently expanded our presence with new offices in London and Atlanta, supporting our mission to deliver cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions to organizations worldwide. These strategic locations strengthen our ability to collaborate with partners and customers across key global markets while continuing to attract top-tier talent.

What began as a hobby has grown into a team of 160 people—and we’re still growing…To receive this award for the second time is a tremendous honour and a testament to the commitment and talent of our entire team.
