PRESS RELEASE
New study from Bugcrowd and Enterprise Strategy Group highlights increased reliance on crowdsourced security platforms and DevSecOps for greater application security
Bugcrowd, the #1 crowdsourced security company, today released Security Leadership Study – Trends in Application Security. Developed in conjunction with Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), a leading security industry analyst firm, this survey of 200 CISOs and cybersecurity decision makers in the United States and Canada evaluates the current state of application security, underscoring the importance of next-generation crowdsourced approaches and DevSecOps to quickly find and fix vulnerabilities.
“The scope of cybersecurity continues to expand as attackers and defenders develop new strategies and tactics in response to the ongoing broad adoption of the cloud and mobile,” said Doug Cahill, senior analyst at ESG. “As attack surfaces expand and adversaries gain additional opportunities for penetration, security leaders are looking to crowdsourced security platforms, like Bugcrowd, that can effectively scale in the same continuous nature as the development process.”
Key findings of the Security Leadership Study – Trends in Application Security report include:
“The increasing number of unfilled cybersecurity jobs and the pressure to bring products to market faster have contributed to the growing and under-defended attack surface,” said David Baker, chief security officer at Bugcrowd. “Our latest survey with ESG underscores how crowdsourced cybersecurity is quickly becoming a foundational element of any organization’s cybersecurity program. ”
Founded in 2012, Bugcrowd was the first company to offer managed bug bounty, vulnerability disclosure and next-gen penetration testing to customers in more than 50 industry sectors in over 30 countries. As a result, more leading companies around the world, including Atlassian, Fitbit, Jet.com, NETGEAR, Square, HP, Mastercard and more trust Bugcrowd for crowdsourced security.
