How
It Works
Utilize the collective creativity of tens of thousands of hackers to test your applications
Overview
-
Set Your Scope
Decide what applications you want to test and how long to test them for. Run private programs for apps that are harder to access or public programs to test anything publicly accessible on the web.

Crowdsourced security delivers results, fast.
In two weeks researchers typically find...
Total Vulnerabilities
The crowd is constantly active and isn't content with singular findings.
Unique Vulnerabilities
Crowdsourced security produces results that traditional testing misses.
Critical Vulnerabilities
High priority bugs are automatically escalated to your security response team.
It produces better results than traditional testing.
Here’s how we compare:
Penetration Test
Typical penetration tests utilize the same methods, people and scanners every time your application is tested. And you are paying for a test that might not produce any results. With Bugcrowd, you only pay for validated vulnerabilities and you get the full range of skills and approaches of the crowd.
Automated Scanner
Automated security scanners are useful for finding typical and common vulnerabilities, but no scanner can replicate the power of human creativity. Bugcrowd puts elite talent on your team to find vulnerabilities in your applications that only a hacker’s mind can find.
Self-Run Program
Running your own bug bounty program is a costly effort, but also makes it hard to attract the right talent. Bugcrowd solves both of these problems by managing your program and getting our curated crowd of security researchers delivering results within days.
