Bugcrowd Launches Continuous Attack Surface Penetration Testing (CASPT) Solution on Platform

Bugcrowd, a leading crowdsourced cybersecurity platform, has introduced its Continuous Attack Surface Penetration Testing (CASPT) solution on the Bugcrowd Platform. This innovative solution aims to provide customers with a proactive security approach to continuously meet compliance goals and reduce their external risk asset exposure.

CASPT is specifically designed for customers with an evolving attack surface who only conduct penetration testing once or twice a year, leaving their assets vulnerable to new threats. With CASPT, users can run a baseline test and share incremental changes about new and updated assets or threats with a curated team for immediate testing.

According to Bugcrowd, fewer than 10% of organizations have full visibility into their evolving attack surface, leading to nearly 70% of them being compromised through poorly managed assets. This highlights the importance of understanding ongoing risk across all digital assets to prevent attackers from exploiting vulnerabilities.

The integration of CASPT was made possible through Bugcrowd’s acquisition of Informer, a leading provider of external attack surface management and continuous penetration testing. This collaboration combines detailed asset data acquired through EASM with Bugcrowd’s extensive vulnerability information to provide customers with valuable insights and recommendations.

Bugcrowd’s CEO, Dave Gerry, emphasized the platform’s commitment to giving customers proactive, data-driven insights to stay ahead of adversaries. The company’s mission is to provide a complete solution for EASM, EASM-enriched penetration testing, and crowdsourced testing to help organizations defend against cyber threats effectively.

Overall, Bugcrowd’s Continuous Attack Surface Penetration Testing solution represents a significant step towards enhancing cybersecurity measures and reducing external risk exposure for organizations.
