Case Study: Cisco achieves stronger web application security with Burp Suite Professional from PortSwigger

Cisco Systems Burp Suite Professional in the computer services sector

Cisco Systems, a major technology company producing a wide array of networking and cybersecurity products, needed to empower its security engineers to effectively test its own web applications to reduce the risk of data breaches and ensure compliance. They chose Burp Suite Professional from PortSwigger to meet this challenge.

PortSwigger's solution provided Cisco with a comprehensive set of manual and automated tools, including Burp Intruder and extensible workflows, all within a single product. This allowed Cisco's team to discover harder-to-find vulnerabilities and catch more bugs faster. The results included a strengthened security posture, maintained customer trust, and high user satisfaction, with one engineer stating that without PortSwigger's tool, they would need additional pentesting resources.
