Security is a team sport, and whether you're a pentester, bug bounty hunter, student, or just love breaking (and fixing) things, our field thrives on shared knowledge, collaboration, and support. At PortSwigger, we're committed to making it even easier for AppSec professionals like you to connect—whether that's through local meetups, online discussions, or major events.
We want to bring people together, share insights, and strengthen the community that makes web security better for everyone. That's why in 2025, we're doubling down on our mission to bring AppSec professionals together across the globe - whether that's online or in person—and we'd love for you to be a part of it!
The PortSwigger Discord is the place to be! With over 8,000 members (and growing), it's a vibrant space for professionals, researchers, and enthusiasts to chat, share insights, and keep up with the latest in AppSec. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting started, there's always someone to exchange ideas with.
