"Frank's years of application security experience are invaluable for our business," said Invicti CEO Michael George. "We are advancing the Appsec industry everyday and welcome his vision to propel the industry forward and meet the ever-increasing need for meaningful research, education, training, and insight on all the latest threats and emerging trends."

"After more than 20 years, companies are still struggling to develop Appsec programmes and solutions that are scalable and efficient," said Catucci. "Invicti is the best in DAST and already does a great job of accurately detecting and identifying the web application and API vulnerabilities, with deep intelligence, that matter most to our customers."

This announcement comes on the heels of continued growth for the organisation. Last month, Invicti was placed on the Inc. 5000 list for Fastest Growing Companies in the U.S..
