In 2024, a significant partnership between Bugcrowd and Hack the Box flourished, focusing on enhancing cybersecurity skills through student development and industry-relevant training. The collaboration continued into 2025 with the introduction of Capture the Flag (CTF) events, designed to upskill participants and guide them into the bug bounty sector. These events provided participants with unique opportunities on the Bugcrowd Platform, exclusive merchandise, and a chance to compete in the November finale of 2025. To qualify, participants must be top earners or submitters on the Bugcrowd platform, with specific criteria such as non-duplicated valid submissions and account creation requirements. The initiative aims to expand opportunities for future cybersecurity professionals, with applications open until July 15th, and notifications sent by October 15th, supporting the journeys of aspiring ethical hackers and cybersecurity experts.
