Summary

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about unprecedented changes, with many people hunkering down at home due to social distancing measures. The tech industry has been fortunate in that many jobs can be done remotely, but others have not been so lucky, resulting in millions of lost jobs. Despite the uncertainty and bleak outlook, there is a silver lining: this period of isolation can be a catalyst for reinvention, growth, and working towards preparing for when things pass. In the security space, bug bounties and crowdsourced security are becoming increasingly popular, with more researchers submitting to programs than ever before, and organizations looking for cost-effective solutions to identify security vulnerabilities. Bugcrowd is positioning itself as a resource for both clients and researchers, offering support, education, and opportunities for success in this growing field.
