Packetlabs Ltd delivers advanced testing capabilities with Burp Suite Certified Practitioners

Summary: PortSwigger launched the Burp Suite Certified Practitioner (BSCP) certification at the end of 2021 in response to demand from Burp Suite Professional customers, and Packetlabs, a Canada-based firm that uses Burp Suite Professional exclusively for web application penetration testing, added it to its hiring checklist immediately. Packetlabs VP of Operations Denis Kucinic said the exam's fixed time window makes it more pressured than the OSCP, and that BSCP-certified testers chain multiple vulnerabilities together rather than stopping at a single finding.
Bottom line: Packetlabs now treats the BSCP as the web equivalent of the OSCP and pays higher certification bounties for it, and Kucinic said clients were flabbergasted by findings their own internal pen test teams and other vendors had missed, including a working Oracle padding exploit.
