Inside the Mind of a Hacker 2024

81% of security leaders call staying ahead of threat actors “a constant battle with an unsustainable cost.” We need to rethink how to meet security objectives, and with the chronic talent shortage, that includes activating the endless skill sets and diversity of the ethical hacker community to proactively reduce risk–not just react to threats we already know about. 

Join this webinar to learn:

-How augmenting your team with skilled, trusted hackers on demand can help find and prioritize vulnerabilities that traditional testing will miss
-What motivates hackers and why they are your best defenders when engaged correctly
-The specific types of programs/objectives for which hackers add the most value, and why 
-How to think about measuring success and ROI

Security ROI is top of mind for security and business leaders who need to quantify the impact of their investment. Line of sight into security ROI has always been hard, and adoption of crowdsourced security with a "pay for results" economic model (aka, bug bounty) adds additional considerations -- but also opportunities to show a tangible impact on the bottom line.

Join our webinar featuring Paul Ciesielski, Chief Revenue Officer at Bugcrowd, and Jason Haddix, CEO and Hacker of Arcanum Information Security, as they discuss:
-The overall potential economic impact of bug bounty adoption
-How bug bounty potentially affects operational efficiency and traditional pen testing
-How to think about qualitative benefits

ITV Ask Me Anything: Vulnerability Disclosure Programs & Security Success

Fewer than 10% of organizations have visibility into their evolving attack surface, yet nearly 70% have been compromised through an unknown or poorly managed asset. With that in mind, having constant access to up-to-date external attack surface intelligence about digital assets in motion isn’t optional. 

In addition, the most security-forward organizations will use that intelligence to amplify the impact and productivity of follow-on human-driven testing and drive contextual recommendations, creating continuous assurance that compliance and risk reduction requirements are being met over time.

Join us to discuss, among other things:

-How attack surface intelligence unlocks new capabilities such as continuous attack surface pentesting and dynamic scope for bug bounty
-The complementary roles of pen testing and crowdsourced testing
-Bugcrowd’s vision to give users data-driven insights and recommendations based on rich asset and vulnerability data – plus the ability to proactively act on them – for continuous risk assurance
