The text highlights the importance of understanding who can defend businesses against cybersecurity threats in today's rapidly evolving threat landscape. The Bugcrowd 2021 Inside the Mind of a Hacker report delves into the world of ethical hacking, shedding light on the motivations and skills of these hackers, as well as their impact on the industry. By analyzing survey data from security researchers and proprietary vulnerability information, the report reveals that ethical hackers are motivated by intrinsic principles such as professional development and serving the greater good, rather than financial incentives. The study also emphasizes the power of crowdsourced security in preventing cybercrime, with security researchers on the Bugcrowd Security Knowledge Platform preventing over $27 billion in cybercrime in 2021. Ultimately, the report suggests that forward-thinking organizations can unlock access to a global network of expert ethical hackers, enabling them to stay ahead of growing cybersecurity threats and protect their organization, reputation, and customers.
