Why crowdsourced security?
Most organizations lack the resources and diversified skills to find hidden vulnerabilities before attackers do. Unfortunately, using reactive tools alone leads to noisy, low-impact results that miss emerging risks. Even sophisticated companies can misjudge the creativity, patience, and diverse skills of today’s attackers.
Crowdsourcing emerged to address the skills gap—and the imbalance between attackers and defenders—by incentivizing ethical hackers to report critical bugs. Yet many firms struggle to integrate crowdsourcing into their security strategy in a trusted, efficient way; purpose-built tools are too limited, and consulting-based approaches fail to scale.
Bugcrowd has re-envisioned crowdsourced security with a platform-powered approach that activates the right researchers to your needs and environment at the right time, with all operational details fully managed for you.
Access expert talent
We curate and activate skilled security researchers from a global, diverse community to bring the right crowd to your use cases at the right time.
Go beyond bug bounty
Bug bounty is just a start. Bugcrowd Penetration Testing as a Service, for example, is enhanced by crowdsourcing in numerous ways.
Get a platform advantage
The Bugcrowd Platform enables the scale, consistency, and continuous improvement that siloed tools and consulting can’t deliver.
Build on past success
Only our platform captures a decade of accumulated crowdsourced knowledge about vulns, assets, researcher impact, and environments.
Trust in triage
Successful crowdsourcing depends on rapid, battle-tested triage and prioritization so you reduce the noise and remediate faster.
Use data, tech, and humans
Effective crowdsourcing depends on the orchestration of data, technology, and human intelligence to speed vulnerability remediation.
How it works
-
Define
Start by scoping and configuring your program, including your rewards model. A “crawl, walk, run” approach works best. -
Connect
Finding and activating the right trusted crowd for your goals is critical. Qualified, motivated researchers find more high-impact flaws. -
Discover and prioritize
With the crowd’s help, you’ll soon discover flaws you never knew existed. Fast, accurate triage is critical to separate signal from noise. -
Reward
Researchers need to be paid promptly for validated findings. It’s vital to build that trust and loyalty with every resource. -
Remediate
Flow findings to your development teams for remediation by directly integrating with existing processes. -
Iterate and improve
Monitor and measure your progress to ensure long-term results. Then, rinse and repeat.

Use cases
Which assets can benefit?
Crowdsourcing has benefits for many asset types, both internal and external. There are no agents, clients, appliances/devices to install or manage. Plus, with our fully managed solutions, operational overhead is minimal.
