Bugcrowd has announced the launch of the first-ever offering to apply the scale, agility, and incentive-driven power of crowdsourcing to red teaming. This new service connects customers with a global network of vetted ethical hackers for various red team engagements – fully managed through the Bugcrowd Platform.
This release enables organisations to test their security environments with high confidence levels. By tapping into a global pool of experts using the latest adversarial tactics, techniques, and procedures, customers gain insight into how real-world attackers would attempt to breach their defences.
Available on the Bugcrowd Platform, RTaaS works alongside offerings such as Penetration Testing as a Service, Managed Bug Bounty, and Vulnerability Disclosure Programs. Bugcrowd customers can tailor their RTaaS engagements to meet specific needs, budget constraints, and organisational maturity.
Through Bugcrowd’s global pool of vetted, trusted ethical hackers, customers can secure the the exact expertise they need and scale their RTaaS program over time, surpassing competing services on the market today.
“Traditionally, red teaming was only possible for large organisations that could either afford the services of security consultants or had a sizable security workforce to manage the workload alongside daily operations – and even then, findings were too often not actionable,” said Bugcrowd CEO Dave Gerry. “Bugcrowd’s industry-first offensive crowdsourced RTaaS bridges this critical security gap, opening the door for our customers to access high-end capabilities that deliver crucial insights into their defensive posture.”
“Bugcrowd was founded on the bug bounty hunter mindset, an objective that aligns perfectly with Red Team operators,” he adds. “This launch is a significant milestone for Bugcrowd as it brings a pioneering solution to life. We are excited to see the power of The Crowd in action in RTaaS and enhance our customers’ always-on approach to security testing.”
Due to the persistent and sophisticated campaigns of cybercriminals, the cost of breaches continues to rise. As enterprise environments become more complex, organisations understand the need to stay ahead of these advanced threats.
While pen testing and bug bounties will remain crucial tools in identifying vulnerabilities, Bugcrowd RTaaS improves organisational preparedness by simulating real-world attacks, allowing an understanding of detection and response capabilities, and exposing gaps in security controls that traditional testing may miss.
