Tripwire: Bugcrowd, the innovator in crowdsourced security testing, has announced the public availability of the company’s Flex Bounty security testing program, allowing any company to leverage Bugcrowd’s worldwide network of over 9,500 security researchers for customized bug bounty programs.
“Flex bounties are the best way for organizations to dip their toes into the bug bounty pool, and they allow organizations to take advantage of crowdsourcing with a fixed budget and a fixed timeline,” said Jonathan Cran, VP of Services at Bugcrowd.
“Researchers love Flex bounties because they know there are going to be payouts. No more wondering if / when they’ll get paid. If you’ve ever run a penetration test, you’re familiar with a Flex bounty. The primary difference is that there’s a whole lot more researchers participating.”
