Crowdsourced Security: Penetration Testing that Works

Presented at Black Hat Europe 2017, Dec. 6, 2017, 1:35 p.m. (25 minutes).

Recently, innovations in crowdsourced security show that motivated and prepared hackers outperform advanced scanning, bug bounty, and ordinary pen testing approaches. When armed with a software platform built for ethical hacking, security testing dramatically improves. It holds true whether the testing is for general vulnerability discovery, compliance, or implementing DevSecOps in a secure software development lifecycle.

Crowdsourced Penetration Testing lets organizations see and control the testing process and finds severe vulnerabilities before attackers do.

Find out the results leading organizations in Europe and elsewhere get when adopting a software and crowdsourced approach to security.
