Summary

The crowdsourced security movement has experienced significant growth since its initiation in 2012, with Bugcrowd's annual "State of Bug Bounty Report" showcasing this growth. The report highlights a threefold increase in enterprise adoption and demonstrates the effectiveness of the platform in delivering successful interactions between white-hat hackers and traditionally risk-averse businesses. The platform was designed to serve the time-strapped enterprise user and has delivered over 55,000 valid submissions processed through its Crowdcontrol platform to companies across various industries and technology adoption spectrums. Bugcrowd's goal of spreading the crowdsourced security concept beyond traditional tech companies has been achieved, with a focus on delivering results to the market to make this possible.
