Port Swigger recognized at the Northern Tech Awards 2026.
Summary: PortSwigger received the Overall Judges' Award at the Northern Tech Awards 2026, an event run by GP Bullhound and held on 23rd April 2026 at the Imperial War Museum North in Manchester. The award goes to the company judged strongest across growth, innovation, global ambition, cultural excellence, and leadership, and founder and CEO Dafydd Stuttard attributed it to sustained focus on building tools for security practitioners rather than single headline wins.
What you should know: The judges' criteria weigh growth, innovation, and global ambition together, so the recognition signals that a UK application security vendor is being measured against the broader tech sector, not just its own niche - a positioning that matters to buyers assessing whether a security tooling supplier has staying power.
