Bugcrowd

Bugcrowd is a crowdsourced cybersecurity company founded in 2012 that connects organizations with a global community of security researchers. Its platform supports bug bounty programs, vulnerability disclosure programs, penetration testing and other forms of authorized security testing. Customers define the systems and applications that researchers are permitted to test, while Bugcrowd provides the platform, program management, vulnerability triage and workflow needed to operate the engagement. This model gives organizations access to diverse security expertise across web applications, APIs, mobile applications, cloud environments, hardware and other technologies. Bugcrowd can complement internal security teams and scheduled penetration tests by providing broader and more continuous testing coverage. Its managed services help organizations establish program rules, validate incoming findings and prioritize vulnerabilities for remediation. The company works with enterprises, technology providers and government organizations that want to identify weaknesses before malicious attackers can exploit them. Bugcrowd also supports vulnerability disclosure programs that provide a structured channel for external researchers to report security issues responsibly. Its core value is combining a global researcher community with a managed platform that helps organizations scale authorized security testing across changing digital attack surfaces.
