Department of Defense Selects Bugcrowd to ‘Hack the Pentagon’

The Department of Defense has awarded Bugcrowd a contract to expand its "Hack the Pentagon" Crowdsourced Digital Defense Program, which aims to boost the Pentagon's security posture by leveraging crowdsourced security programs and expanded bug bounties. The program enables the DoD to assess a broader range of assets, including hardware and physical systems, and bring valuable new security perspectives to combat adversaries. Bugcrowd has provided similar services to leading organizations across 50 industries and in 30 countries since 2012, and this new contract further demonstrates the power of crowdsourced security as a force multiplier to solve real-world cybersecurity issues.
