Summary

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. Bugcrowd provides a robust platform and extensive resources to help clients establish and manage world-class programs, with features designed to standardize best practices and ensure customer and researcher success. The company is launching a blog series on best-practices and how-to's to guide clients through the process of getting into crowdsourced security, starting with definitions of key terms such as Crowdcontrol, Program Brief, Payout, Kudos Points, Submission, Triaging, and Vulnerability Rating Taxonomy.
