About Dennis Hurst
I’m a technical founder and product leader with deep experience building and scaling enterprise software in the application security space. At Saltworks Security, I led the creation and evolution of SaltMiner—an Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) and Penetration Testing Management platform adopted by organizations ranging from growth-stage software companies to a Fortune 100 financial institution. The platform helps security teams gain clarity, reduce friction, and deliver measurable improvements across their AppSec programs. My background in software engineering, security, and product strategy has enabled me to build and lead cross-functional teams delivering multiple commercial products. I work closely with both technical and executive stakeholders to translate complex business needs into practical, scalable solutions. I believe great products are built at the intersection of technical excellence, disciplined execution, and strong values that are based on my Christian faith. I’m especially drawn to solving complex security challenges, building durable teams, and creating systems that serve customers with integrity and long-term impact.
