Pen testing is often focused on delivering a statement of compliance, and traditional models have made business sense due to their simplicity and universality. However, these models may not deliver everything pen tests were meant to provide, such as ensuring security of mission-critical assets and detecting vulnerabilities. Crowdsourced approaches to pen testing can help address these limitations by leveraging a large pool of vetted talent, automation, and incentivization. These approaches can reduce costs, improve speed-to-value, and increase the volume and criticality of surfaced vulnerabilities, making them more attractive for organizations looking for continuous coverage without sacrificing results. By adopting crowdsourced pen testing solutions, businesses can benefit from improved compliance, transparency, vulnerability detection, and cost-effectiveness.
