Crowdsourced triage has uncovered critical website vulnerabilities and continuously improves our security posture
Bugcrowd could be improved or enhanced as they seem to have a lot of internal churn at the moment, so they could be more stable and more customer-focused. By customer-focused, I mean they are not very good at communicating what is changing on their side to their customers. I am now on my fourth account manager within one year. My latest call with them was with the fourth account manager saying there have been many changes and apologizing that no one I have spoken to in the past is on this call, but going forwards it will be them. With the fourth account manager in a year, it is hard to trust that message.

Real-time monitoring has strengthened our defenses but ongoing upgrades and AI features need work
There is definitely room for improvement, especially with AI coming into play. I believe they are already working on it, but we probably have an older version because it is an on-premises solution. Licensing costs must remain competitive with so many things coming up in the market. The problem arises as everything is now driven by AI, and everyone looks to change partners for more productive and cheaper rates to save on OPEX. We are not yet working with automation software solutions. We are still working on those items as part of a roadmap, but we have not yet started implementation. We are looking for solutions such as EDR and network security at this time.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Working on Bugcrowd has made me a better security engineer since it provides a competitive environment to report successful vulnerabilities."
"The most valuable aspect of Bugcrowd is that it provides a long list of different websites or web applications where I can report vulnerabilities."
"One of the features I like most about Bugcrowd is the ability to create a report in a very easy way."
"I believe Bugcrowd is highly stable."
"Bugcrowd's use of crowdsourced hackers has helped in discovering unique vulnerabilities."
"I would rate Bugcrowd a ten out of ten."
"Bugcrowd has programs that disclose rewards and invite researchers to new programs."
"Bugcrowd's support team is very active and supportive."
"Kaspersky Cybersecurity Services is a major reason I chose this solution because the brand has a constant knack for keeping up with security."
"The most valuable features of Kaspersky Cybersecurity Services are the light use of resources, plenty of functionality and scans are quick."
 

Cons

"The triaging process has slowed down compared to three years ago. It now takes more time to resolve a reported vulnerability and receive the payout."
"There is room for improvement in Bugcrowd's response time when customer input is needed for resolving tickets. If this time could be minimized, it would be very helpful."
"Bugcrowd should provide more access to the reports, similar to HackerOne, allowing for full disclosure once a bug is resolved, so researchers can learn from them. They should improve the responsibility type and response time of their customer support, especially when the issue is urgent."
"Bugcrowd could be improved or enhanced as they seem to have a lot of internal churn at the moment, so they could be more stable and more customer-focused."
"Kaspersky Cybersecurity Services can improve browsing security. When I'm browsing some sites, they don't allow the solution to open which would keep it secure. There's an issue with the secure mode, which they put on browsers, such as IE, Edge, or Firefox."
"It is not an eight or nine due to the challenges of constantly upgrading the on-premises solution, which is a problem of the solution itself rather than Kaspersky Cybersecurity Services."
