Crowdsourced security has become a mainstream approach to cybersecurity, with many organizations adopting this model to improve their productivity and creativity. However, successful execution of a crowdsourced security program requires careful planning and management, including identifying objectives, defining logistics, implementing processes for vulnerability remediation, and attracting top researchers.
