Solving the Problem of Inefficient Enterprise Penetration Testing

With business-critical resources more vulnerable than ever, there’s been an equal rise in the popularity of penetration testing.

However, given the pen-testing industry’s current pitfalls, Bugcrowd Inc. has responded by taking the entire process online.

“Our customers can now go to our website and purchase, configure and deploy a pen test with only a few clicks,”  said Casey Ellis (pictured, right), founder, chairman and chief technology officer of Bugcrowd.”In our view, this starts to democratize access to pen testing. It’s one of those things where the pen testers aren’t the problem; it’s the actual process and how it’s done that is the problem. It’s been so inefficient, and there hasn’t really been a reason to change it until now.”

Ellis and Dave Gerry (left), chief executive officer of Bugcrowd, spoke with theCUBE industry analyst John Furrier at the RSA Conference, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed value-added cybersecurity innovations in areas such as pen testing.
