Our take
Remote working has become a more permanent trend, resulting in new forms of cyberattack. Yet, most companies lack the resources and diversified skills to find hidden vulnerabilities before attackers do. Bugcrowd is setting out to fix this problem by connecting companies with “white hat hackers” who proactively search for vulnerabilities in a company’s system.
As the leading provider of crowdsourced cybersecurity solutions, the company’s ethical hackers prevented more than $27 billion in cybercrime between May 2020 - August 2021. The company has a number of high-profile customers, including Etsy, Tesla, Cisco, Pinterest and Twilio.
Bugcrowd has kept up this impressive momentum, raising considerable amounts of funding over the years. The latest influx will empower the company to further scale its platform, fuel innovation and leverage strategic M&A opportunities in the future.
