Summary

Bugcrowd is committed to delivering a radical cybersecurity advantage by providing top-notch platform and tools for security researchers to find vulnerabilities in applications, networks, and devices. The company believes that education is key to making the Internet a safer place and has been actively educating developers, researchers, and the public about hacking and internet security through various initiatives. Recently, Bugcrowd collaborated with the Wickr Foundation to host an event where kids aged 7-17 learned about hacking, lockpicking, and social engineering, followed by an educational bus ride to the UC Berkeley CyberSecurity Center. At the center, attendees gained hands-on experience with soldering, lockpicking, and internet discovery tools, building their confidence and knowledge of technology. The event aimed to empower participants to protect themselves and their organizations from online threats, and it is likely that some of these educated individuals will join Bugcrowd's bug bounty program in the future, contributing to making the world a better place through cybersecurity.
