Bugcrowd, How the Government is Partnering with an Ethical Army

Crowdsourced security has its roots in the bug bounty movement, which emerged years ago. Since then, it's become much more versatile, enhancing numerous security workflows (pen testing, ASM, etc.), and for many adopters, joining the mainstream development lifecycle.

In this webinar, you'll learn:

- About integrating crowdsourcing with your existing dev and security processes
- Modern use cases for crowdsourced security that go beyond bug bounty
- The difference between generalist crowds and curated crowds
- How it contributes to continuous, shift-left security

DBT Crowdsourced Security and DevOps: A Few Things You Probably Didn't Know

Use cases for crowdsourcing have multiplied since the bug bounty was invented years ago, enhancing everything from pen testing to asset risk analysis. But with these additional opportunities, as well as a huge expansion in the complexity of attack surfaces, it’s now critical to have access to the right trusted experts, for the right problems, at the right times.

In this episode in our “Meet the Experts” series, Bugcrowd’s Director of Product Management, Farzad Eskafi, will explain:

- The differences between generalist and precisely curated crowds
- How Bugcrowd thinks about crowd matching and activation, and how they’re implemented in the platform
- Why precisely curated crowds lead to better findings and results

Meet the Experts: Activating the Right Crowd at the Right Time

SANS and Bugcrowd recently partnered up for a webinar which explored the versatility of crowdsourced security and the bug bounty movement.

Crowdsourced Security and DevOps: A Few Things You Probably Didn't Know

In this Infosecurity webinar sponsored by Bugcrowd, an expert panel, including Bugcrowd’s Chairman, Founder and CTO Casey Ellis, discuss the need for security teams to prioritize the most important areas of their organizations. Security teams should also seek outside help, leveraging the skills of crowdsourced white hat hackers, to identify the new vulnerabilities across their networks.

The expert panel also discusses:

-The evolving threat landscape and expected trends for 2022
-The importance of adopting a risk-based approach
-The growth of crowdsourced security and how it works

Evolving your security strategy to challenges of 2022

Lessons have been learned from the Log4Shell vulnerability. But what is next? Another vulnerability discovery, rushing to understand it and trying to remediate it. With digital transformation showing no signs of slowing in 2022, organizations need to evolve their security practices along with the current landscape. Static vulnerability scanning, traditional penetration testing are not effective. Platform-powered crowdsourcing, where the crowd and the platform are foundational, is the approach organizations need to take when it comes to security maturity.

Hear from Bugcrowd’s Justin Beachler, Dir. of Trust & Security at Bugcrowd, as he is on the front lines helping organizations evolve their security strategy by adopting a platform-powered crowdsourcing approach to navigate through the uncharted waters of crowdsourced security.

Navigating the Uncharted Waters of Crowdsourced Security

The recently discovered Log4j vulnerability (“The vuln that stole Christmas”) was a massive wake-up call. Now that we have the benefit of security researcher report data compiled over the last few months, we can draw some conclusions about what happened and why. 
In this keynote session, you’ll learn:

-What those reports tell us about how the incident unfolded
-Why this incident constitutes a new class of vulnerability, and why that matters
-Whether we should think about open source software vulnerability management differently now

What We Learned From The Log4j Vuln

Penetration testing as you know it is broken: It’s too slow, limited, cumbersome, and noisy. The result? Poor results, including late or incomplete reports and missed vulnerabilities, and lackluster ROI.
 
Attend this “Meet the Experts” webinar on Thursday, Feb. 17, to hear from Bugcrowd's Director of Product, Kaushik Srinivas explain Bugcrowd’s vision for modern, platform-powered Penetration Testing as a Service. Among other things, you will learn how the Bugcrowd Security Knowledge Platform helps customers quickly launch efficient, effective, and agile pen tests for web apps & APIs, cloud services, networking, mobile, and IoT. Topics will include:
 
-The unique benefits of the crowdsourcing model for penetration testing
-Why and how Bugcrowd’s platform-powered approach modernizes the penetration testing experience
-New Bugcrowd PTaaS capabilities, functionality, and high-level roadmap

Meet the Experts: Re-defining Penetration Testing at Bugcrowd

The most glamourized aspect of cybersecurity is detection and response as software and security professionals chase after attackers in their environments. However, one could argue that a strong cybersecurity posture thwarts all but the most nefarious actors. In that vein, important preventative measures include device and application vulnerability management, penetration testing (or pentests), and a bug bounty program that offers rewards to the ethical hacker community to find vulnerabilities.
