Cisco Systems - Burp Suite Professional Case Study - Port Swigger
Summary: Cisco Systems, founded in 1984 and based in San Jose, California, purchased Burp Suite Professional so its security engineers could test the company's own web applications. Cisco cites Burp Intruder for automated customized attacks, Burp Suite extensions for customizing workflows, and the breadth of manual tools in one product, with software engineer Balaji Govindan quoted on the toolset.
Key Takeaway: Cisco says 85% of internet traffic travels across its systems, so the vulnerabilities its engineers find in its own web applications sit under infrastructure that most of the internet depends on.
