The final mile for many Merger and Acquisition events is the security assessment. Once the acquiring party believes the business case is sound, the security team swings in for a final nod of approval. With little time to spare, security teams are less focused on surfacing every issue, as much as they are on prioritizing the riskiest– the things that would be costly to remediate, or recover from. Even organizations with strong security practices are not immune to the odd untracked asset or insidious vulnerability, but unfortunately these are often primary targets for motivated attackers once news of an M&A goes public.
To help organizations better assess risk of vulnerabilities or unknown attack surface, Bugcrowd is pleased to introduce Bugcrowd M&A Assessment. M&A Assessment leverages the Bugcrowd platform to simultaneously deploy software-based attack surface analysis and human-powered vulnerability discovery for a dual-prong approach to comprehensive risk analysis. Specially designed for organizations facing a tight deadline, M&A Assessment provides actionable insights on Day 1, enabling organizations to view uncovered assets and vulnerabilities as soon as they are discovered, with final executive reporting and recommendations delivered in under 3 weeks.
The timelines for M&A’s may not improve. But security teams can at least feel more confident making tough decisions in a crunch with a solution designed to reduce risk and unknown attack surface in days rather than weeks.
