WhiteHat Security Achieves Strong Business Growth In 2015

This year marks the fifteenth anniversary of WhiteHat Security, a pioneer in application security and a leading voice on the importance of securing applications throughout their entire lifecycle. The company was founded on the idea that organizations need to hack themselves first to identify vulnerabilities. WhiteHat's workforce grew significantly overall in 2015; the company now employs more than 150 security experts at its Threat Research Center globally, with more than 50 in its European research center in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

"2015 was a banner year for WhiteHat Security, with new executives, security experts, product capabilities, partners, customers and industry recognition all contributing to our strong and rapidly-growing business," said Craig Hinkley, CEO of WhiteHat Security. "The acceleration of threats to websites and applications, combined with a serious security skills shortage, makes our combination of technology and human intelligence – WhiteHat Sentinel and the security experts in the TRC – more relevant and important than ever. As we enter our fifteenth year, our commitment to serving the application security needs of our customers remains front and center of everything we do."
