Bugcrowd, the only true SaaS platform built for crowdsourced security, today announced Attack Surface Management (ASM). ASM provides a comprehensive assessment of an organization’s security posture by providing visibility and intelligence on its true attack surface. Guided by contextual intelligence from more than seven years and 1200 managed programs, ASM delivers a Crowd-driven approach to risk reduction by helping security and IT teams identify and prioritize previously unknown or unprioritized assets.††
Gartner predicts that in 2020, one-third of successful attacks on the enterprise will be through shadow IT resources. Organizations must understand their entire attack surface to properly assess risk. However, legacy and shadow IT assets and applications often fall out of sight, creating exploitable blind spots due to lapsed patching or unprioritized testing. Legacy tools rely on basic pattern recognition to find known-knowns, and internal teams lack the bandwidth to employ human ingenuity at scale.
Bugcrowd ASM is the first Crowd-driven solution to reduce unknown attack surface by matching the effort and scale of malicious attackers with the creativity and impact of trusted, attack-minded defenders. ASM rapidly identifies connected digital assets, prioritizes them based on real risk for attack, and seamlessly migrates critical findings to new or existing crowdsourced testing programs like Bug Bounty or Next Gen Pen Test programs for an added layer of targeted testing. Intelligence from the Crowd and platform-driven reconnaissance workflows fast-track vulnerability testing for continuous coverage and optimal risk reduction.
“Bugcrowd has always been committed to helping customers bridge the gap between security and development teams to find and fix vulnerabilities faster,” said Casey Ellis, founder, chairman, and Chief Technology Officer at Bugcrowd. “Now with Attack Surface Management, we’re helping to better connect security and IT, and restore their Defender’s Advantage. ASM is the first solution of its kind to provide teams with the ability to see and secure their entire attack surface with the most organic measure of real risk possible — the hacker mindset.”
