Hackers are not stereotypical characters from Hollywood, but rather everyday people with diverse backgrounds and skills who have turned their passion for security into a sustainable livelihood. The latest report from Bugcrowd provides new insights into the world of hackers, revealing that they come from all walks of life and possess varied skills, ranging from conventional techniques to specialist expertise. These individuals help organizations face complex cybersecurity challenges through their differences, not just similarities, and are increasingly becoming a mainstream movement. The report also highlights the growing economy of on-demand cybersecurity, with hackers preventing $8.9B of cybercrime last year and mitigating a projected $55B by 2025.
