The Executive Guide to Human Security Testing


The Digital Economy’s Impact on Your Attack Surface

  • The digital-first economy has led to a proliferation of internet-facing assets, transforming businesses into software businesses.
  • The software development lifecycle (SDLC) has evolved to prioritize speed and agility, with 70% of DevOps teams shipping code continuously.
  • Security teams face challenges with visibility and governance due to the growing inventory of applications and web-facing assets.
  • Security must be considered and designed from the start to mitigate the risk of breaches.
  • What a Bug Bounty Program Can Provide

  • Bug bounty and vulnerability disclosure programs modernize application security testing with proactive, continuous testing of internet-facing applications and infrastructure.
  • Partnering with a bug bounty program provider allows access to a talent pool that may not be available in-house.
  • Hackers perform ongoing testing, finding vulnerabilities in internet-facing assets that bad actors seek to exploit.
  • Continuous feedback from hackers regarding the potential impact of vulnerabilities broadens the reach of the security team.
  • The risk of a breach is directly lowered by easily feeding findings from the program to the development team for remediation.
