We are Bugcrowd. Since 2012, we’ve been empowering organizations to take back control and stay ahead of threat actors by uniting the collective ingenuity and expertise of our customers and trusted alliance of elite hackers, with our patented data and AI-powered Security Knowledge Platform™. Our network of hackers brings diverse expertise to uncover hidden weaknesses, adapting swiftly to evolving threats, even against zero-day exploits. With unmatched scalability and adaptability, our data and AI-driven CrowdMatch™ technology in our platform finds the perfect talent for your unique fight. We are creating a new era of modern crowdsourced security that outpaces threat actors. Unleash the ingenuity of the hacker community with Bugcrowd. 

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 and Jason Haddix 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

Calculating the ROI of Bug Bounty Engagements

Join Skroutz CISO, George Papakyriakopoulos, and Bugcrowd Technical Program Manager, Matthias Held, as well as Robin Marte, ethical researcher on Bugcrowd, as they answer your questions on the impact of bug bounty programs on company security. 

From understanding the enormous benefits of bug bounties to exploring the best practices for scaling these programs effectively, this session offers a comprehensive look into leveraging crowdsourced security solutions for maximum impact. 

We’ll dive into:

1) Scaling your program and enhancing security posture: Gain practical insights into scaling your bug bounty program and improving your company’s security posture over time.

2) The impact on security: Discover how the bug bounty program has significantly enhanced Skroutz’s security by identifying and fixing vulnerabilities before bad actors could exploit them.

3) Hacker and program owner perspectives: Hear from hackers and program owners like George about what makes a bug bounty program successful and what both parties want to see.

4) Future trends and best practices: Explore emerging trends in bug bounty programs and predictions for the future, including their role in mitigating threats and improving overall security.

Join us for an in-depth discussion and get actionable tips for optimizing your own bug bounty program to safeguard your organization’s security.

Inside the Mind of a Hacker

Join Rob Gurzeev, Founder and CEO, of CyCognito, and Casey Ellis, Founder and Chief Strategy Officer, of Bugcrowd, as they discuss how the utilization of automation and external attack surface management (EASM) coupled with crowdsourced testing (including pen testing and bug bounty) work together to empower organizations to effectively address these challenges.

In this roundtable webinar, you’ll discover how:

-Automation plays a pivotal role in enhancing security testing efficiency and accuracy.
-Crowdsourced security testing and EASM together allow you to proactively identify vulnerabilities, thus reducing time to remediation and bolstering your overall security posture.
-EASM informs and optimizes testing, ensuring that critical assets are thoroughly tested for improved accuracy, reducing, or eliminating false positives.

Strengthen Your Security Posture

Economic realities dictate that DevSecOps must find more cost-efficient ways to develop, secure, and manage technology. Yet demands from boardrooms to deliver the next generation of industry-transformative digital products continue to grow. Juggling these priorities is top of mind for CTOs, CISOs, and engineering leaders, which is why companies like Clari and Motorola Mobility are increasingly turning to crowdsourced testing as a disruptive staffing model to scale up security and quality testing operations. 

Watch this roundtable discussion to learn how crowdsourced testing programs can:
-Serve as an extension of internal expertise and capacity. 
-Provide on-demand access to a global network of skilled quality and security experts to address a broad set of product validation use cases.
-Help product and security leaders unlock more efficient ways to deliver high-quality, highly secure end-user experiences.

Crowdsourced Confidential: Comprehensive Security & Quality Testing

Inside the Mind of a Hacker 2023

81% of executives say the cost and constant effort required to stay ahead of hackers is ‘unsustainable.’ Many organizations are turning to crowdsourced security to tap into specialized skill sets of ethical hackers to beat bad actors at their own game.

Rapyd, a fintech company, is doing just that. Watch this webcast to learn their take on the 4 essentials to picking the right partner:
-A multi-solution SaaS platform with real-time visibility
-The right crowd of hackers for their industry and program
-Integration with existing workflows and systems
-Dedication to customer experience

4 Essentials to Look for in a Crowdsourced Security Platform

Government agencies and their contractors are held to the highest standards where cybersecurity is concerned. To meet those expectations, the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA), made vulnerability disclosure programs (VDPs) a requirement for all federal civilian agencies and launched the CISA VDP platform to help these agencies, federal contractors, and critical infrastructure providers strengthen their security posture by engaging the global ethical hacker community to voluntarily find and report vulnerabilities.

Join us for this panel discussion to learn how in the first 18 months CISA :

✓Onboarded more than 40 agencies onto the VDP platform, built in partnership with Bugcrowd
✓Identified >1,300 unique valid disclosures
✓Remediated >1,000 vulnerabilities, an 85% remediation rate
✓Expanded the program to include a private bug bounty program to encourage additional reporting

Combating Cyber Threats with VDP: A Federal Success Story

Organizations are moving workloads to the cloud to improve efficiency and competitive advantage. Yet, as new cloud apps and services emerge, unprotected attack surfaces expand.

The real dilemma: it’s getting harder to find the right cloud security expertise to ensure users and data are protected across multi-cloud environments.

This new webinar helps you take this daunting challenge head on. It details key insights on a modern security platform approach that harnesses crowdsourced security expertise to help you protect your cloud before attacks happen.

Attend and learn how to:

1. Leverage smart crowdsourcing and solve your cloud security skills gap
2. Meet aggressive cloud code deadlines without creating vulnerabilities
3. Manage fewer security vendors while increasing cloud risk reduction
4. Utilize a platform-driven crowd security solution to prevent cloud attacks

Scaling Cloud Security Using a Multi-solution Crowdsourced Security Platform

Social engineering is now one of the most common attack vectors in cybersecurity, with everyone from individuals to multinational corporations being targets. Without proper awareness and practices, even the most seemingly minor divulsion of information can lead to a catastrophic exploit by a skilled attacker.

In our latest Crowd Café webinar episode, Casey Ellis, Bugcrowd’s Chairman, Founder and CTO, was joined by Rachel Tobac, Co-founder and CEO of SocialProof Security, and an expert practitioner in social engineering hacks and how to prevent them.

During the webinar, Casey and Rachel discussed:

- How digital transformation has raised the stakes for social engineering risk
- What organizations can and should do to protect their customers and employees
- Rachel’s real life hacking stories from the field

There was also an open “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) session at the conclusion of the webinar.

Crowd Café: Social Engineering AMA with Rachel Tobac

Dramatic cultural shifts are taking place within the government. With the growing development of connected systems and a shortage of skills and time to protect them, this webinar explores how the government is connecting with security researchers all around the world to help secure those critical systems.

In this joint Carahsoft and Bugcrowd webinar, you’ll hear Justin Beachler, Bugcrowd’s Director, Trust and Security, discuss:

✓ How the changing landscape of remote work is affecting how we approach security
