Austin, Texas — February 10, 2026 — DefectDojo, the most widely used open-source DevSecOps and vulnerability management platform in the world, today announced the appointment of Frank Morris as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO).

For more than ten years, DefectDojo has been the trusted platform supporting the security programs of many of the world’s leading enterprises. With Frank Morris joining the team, the company is entering an exciting new phase of growth, bringing greater visibility to a solution that has long been recognised for its impact on the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and compliance of enterprise security programs.

Morris will guide DefectDojo’s next stage of expansion, focused on helping organisations bring structure, clarity, and consistency to modern vulnerability management.

Building the Next Phase of Scale

Frank Morris joins DefectDojo with a strong track record of helping high-growth technology companies scale their go-to-market strategy and deepen enterprise adoption. His appointment comes at a pivotal time, as security teams face increasing complexity: more tools, more findings, and more pressure to demonstrate measurable progress.

DefectDojo is uniquely positioned to address this challenge by providing a central source of truth for managing and prioritising security findings across the application lifecycle.

Under Morris’ leadership, DefectDojo will focus on several key growth priorities:

• International Expansion: Supporting increased adoption across EMEA, LATAM, and APAC as global demand for scalable AppSec operations accelerates.
• Enterprise Momentum: Building on DefectDojo’s strong open-source foundation to meet the needs of larger organisations with enterprise-grade capabilities and partnerships.
• Unified Security Workflows: Reinforcing DefectDojo’s role as the platform that brings together fragmented vulnerability data into a clear, actionable program.

“I’ve watched the security landscape evolve rapidly over the past few years,” said Frank Morris, incoming CRO of DefectDojo. “Organisations are investing heavily in security tools, but many still struggle with prioritisation, coordination, and visibility. DefectDojo has built an incredible community and a proven platform that helps teams focus on what matters most. I’m excited to work with the team to expand that impact globally.”

From Open Source Roots to Global Opportunity

DefectDojo began as an open-source project and has grown into one of the most widely adopted platforms for vulnerability management and AppSec workflow orchestration, supported by a passionate community and millions of downloads.

“We’ve always believed DefectDojo could play a defining role in how modern security teams operate,” said Greg Anderson, CEO of DefectDojo. “Frank brings the experience and leadership to help us scale responsibly, honouring our community roots while accelerating our enterprise growth. He is the bridge between our hacker roots and our enterprise future. This is an important step forward in our journey.”
