SAN FRANCISCO–July 24, 2018 – Bugcrowd, the leader in crowdsourced security, announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Bugcrowd to its 2018 Emerging Vendors List in the Security category. This list recognizes recently founded, up-and-coming technology suppliers who are shaping the future of the IT channel through unique technological innovations. The list is divided into seven categories: Cloud, Data Center, Security, Big Data, Unified Communications, Internet of Things (IoT) and Storage. In addition to celebrating these notable companies, the Emerging Vendors list serves as a valuable resource for solution providers looking to expand their portfolios with cutting-edge technology. Bugcrowd bug bounty and vulnerability disclosure programs uncover seven times more high priority vulnerabilities than traditional security assessment methods.
In the last few years, organizations around the world have witnessed a continued increase in the number of vulnerabilities. At the same time, CISOs are in a crisis for resources. By 2020, there will be an estimated 1.5 million unfulfilled security positions. To stay ahead of these adversaries, companies are depending more and more on the crowdsourced security model to realize their own vulnerabilities before the bad guys do. According to Gartner Research, crowdsourced security platforms are gaining traction in the marketplace. In its latest CISO survey, Bugcrowd found that 30% of CISOs plan on implementing crowdsourced security programs in the next year.
