Summary: PortSwigger Web Security announced the appointment of Gillian Kent as a Non-Executive Director of its Board. Kent spent 15 years at Microsoft, including three years as Managing Director of MSN UK, was CEO of Propertyfinder until its acquisition by Zoopla, and holds non-executive director roles at Mothercare Plc, Pendragon Plc, National Accident Helpline Group Plc, Ascential Plc, KR Group and Howsy.
Bottom line: PortSwigger says its application security testing software is used by over 15,000 customers in 130 countries, so a board seat at a company with that install base carries weight in the tooling decisions those customers make.
