WhiteHat Security has announced a partnership with Bugcrowd to broaden the WhiteHat Sentinel application
security testing portfolio with crowdsourced, continuous vulnerability testing.
Together, WhiteHat and Bugcrowd will be able to deliver a
comprehensive application security testing solution to organizations across the
globe. WhiteHat Sentinel provides application security testing augmented with
human intelligence to reduce risk with near zero false positives. Bugcrowd
offers managed bug bounty and vulnerability disclosure programs to quickly
identify and triage security risks, delivered via a global crowd of security
researchers to identify vulnerabilities-before adversaries can take advantage
of them.
WhiteHat and Bugcrowd form a coordinated solution combining
crowdsourced security testing and automated, cloud-based application testing of
application code and runtime behavior across the entire application life cycle.
The benefits for customers include:
- Dynamically scanning
production websites to minimize the risk of data breaches
- Static scanning for
source code, to speed up time to market and reduce cost
- Mobile scans for both
source code and binaries before pushing to the app stores
- Added capabilities for
vulnerability discovery, while meeting compliance and reducing risk
- A global crowd of
ethical researchers to identify vulnerabilities using the same human
creativity as adversaries
- Access to researchers
with specialized skills for coverage of complex attack surfaces such as
IoT and APIs
- Continuous testing to
quickly identify, triage and remediate product security vulnerabilities
By helping to identify vulnerabilities and manage risks
effectively throughout and beyond the software life cycle (SLC), including in
the operation phase, customers build an internal knowledge of best practices,
improving time to market, and releasing secure applications.
The partnership will give Bugcrowd security researchers
access to even more attack surfaces - with the identified vulnerabilities
easily integrated into the SLC.
"The combination of WhiteHat Security and Bugcrowd will help
to reduce costs and accelerate innovation for organizations who are in the
business of constantly developing and rolling out new application
functionality," said John Atkinson, VP of strategic alliances and channels,
WhiteHat Security. "The solution meets a rapidly growing need for security that
works at the speed of business."
"Attack surfaces are growing at a breakneck pace
- we are delighted to be working with WhiteHat to bring customers a coordinated
approach across the security development life cycle," said Ashish Gupta, CEO,
Bugcrowd. "Combining WhiteHat's innovative application security with the power
of Bugcrowd's crowdsourced security platform is a game changer for
forward-thinking organizations across any industry."
