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

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
