About Bugcrowd

Bugcrowd provides crowdsourced security solutions by connecting businesses with a global network of trusted hackers and security researchers. Their main service is bug bounty programs, where companies reward experts for finding and reporting vulnerabilities in their systems. This approach is more effective than traditional security measures, as it utilizes a diverse range of expertise. Bugcrowd's goal is to enhance the security of its clients, particularly those handling sensitive data, through continuous coverage and support.
