The increasing adoption of cloud-based work environments and software supply chains has significantly expanded the attack surface, making it challenging for security leaders to keep up with emerging threats. The average organization's attack surface is 40% unknown, and recent incidents like Log4j have highlighted the need for proactive, platform-powered approaches to cloud security. While automated tools can detect risks, attackers can supplement them with domain knowledge, creativity, and intuition, making it essential to augment automation with human intelligence and contextual knowledge. The Bugcrowd Security Knowledge Platform offers a comprehensive approach by combining penetration testing-as-a-service, vulnerability disclosure, bug bounty, and attack surface management to defend against blindside cloud security attacks.
