This director of cybersecurity at a leading data networking organization is seeing significant changes in the threat landscape since the pandemic, particularly in the complexity of security threats and the prevalence of AI-based cyber threats. The cybersecurity skills gap is a major concern for organizations, with the director predicting it will continue to increase in the short term unless adequate resources are invested in cybersecurity personnel. To address this, the organization partnered with Bugcrowd to establish a Vulnerability Disclosure Program, leveraging crowdsourced security expertise to manage vulnerabilities and reduce risk exposure. The partnership aims to proactively demonstrate commitment to security, build productive relationships with the hacker community, and stay ahead of innovation through security testing and remediation.
