How to go from theory to REAL-WORLD hacking? 🤔  Here’s @monkehack with some practical lessons. 🤓  Check it out! 👇  youtube.com/watch?v=U-vfF7…

Zero Trust gets stuck when strategy can’t keep up with the complexity of modern risk. With 40% of initiatives stalling and only 20% succeeding, Zero Trust has to be tied to business outcomes, not just technical controls. The programs that move forward connect security to business outcomes, people, and evidence. Bugcrowd helps teams turn assumptions into proof by continuously testing the places trust can fail. Applications, identities, exposed assets, third parties, and changing attack surfaces 📍 You don’t know until you test.

@jeetbhdr Hey! Thanks for flagging this. We’ve shared this feedback with our team and they’re looking into it.

This hasn't been fixed yet @Bugcrowd please.

AI is revealing that too many of our fortresses were built on unstable foundations in the first place. For the public sector, the biggest AI security risk is what more noise exposes: ⛓️‍💥 Brittle legacy systems 🩹 Unpatched weaknesses 🔓 Insecure defaults 🦺 Poor asset visibility And compliance programs that look better on paper than they hold up in practice. Kent Wilson discusses the foundational problem here: bugcrowd.com/blog/a-foundat…

AI can surface more vulnerabilities than ever. Great. Now what? 🙃 Next week at #Infosec2026, Julian Brownlow Davies and Alistair G. are taking on the question every security team drowning in findings needs to ask 🏊⤵ Do most vulnerabilities actually matter? 📍 The Hive near Infosec Europe 🗓 Wednesday, 3 June ⏰ 12:00–12:30pm Save your spot: luma.com/aislop?utm_sou…

It’s Friday! Your calendar deserves a lil treat for next week 😌🎁 We’re bringing the big AI security questions to The Hive at #Infosec2026: ⚡ When does AI break the security model? Dave Gerry + Dr. David Brumley Wednesday, 3 June at 11:00–11:30am 🎫: luma.com/Bugmageddon?ut… 🐛 In the age of AI slop, do most vulnerabilities actually matter? Julian Brownlow Davies + Alistair G. Wednesday, 3 June at 12:00–12:30pm 🎫: luma.com/aislop?utm_sou… Two sessions, one hive, zero boring conversations! We’ll see you there 🐝: luma.com/infosec26recep…

AI is changing how fast security issues can be discovered, but discovery is only one part of the bug bounty lifecycle. Teams still need trusted researchers, clear validation, and human judgment to understand what is real risk and what is just more backlog. Bugcrowd’s @treyford joined Black Hat’s “Changing Face of Bug Hunting” webinar to break down what this shift means for the future of security research.

AI is moving fast. Security models are moving… well, trying their best 😀 Next week at @Infosecurity Europe, Bugcrowd CEO @davegerryjr and Chief AI & Science Officer Dr. @thedavidbrumley are bringing Bugmageddon: When AI Breaks the Security Model to The Hive. Join us! 🐝 The Hive near Infosec Europe 🗓 Wednesday, 3 June ⏰ 11:00–11:30am Register: luma.com/Bugmageddon?ut…

We just launched Reinforcement Learning Environments to let frontier AI labs train models on real vulnerable software instead of synthetic data. Built on technology from our Mayhem acquisition, it provides open-source environments where AI agents learn to locate and patch actual production flaws. Our Chief AI and Science Officer, @thedavidbrumley, explains: "You cannot train a model to be good at security by showing it what security looks like, you have to give it real problems to solve and honest feedback on whether it solved them." Get the details from @SiliconANGLE: siliconangle.com/2026/05/21/bug…

Your calendar has an open slot at 11am ET today? Perfect. 🤩 Join Bugcrowd product leaders in a discussion on moving past vuln overload and focusing on validated risk. Grab your seat before we go live: event.on24.com/wcc/r/5338391/…

To find valid bugs and stop getting those frustrating N/A triages, you need to understand one concept above all others: impact. In bug bounties, a bug is only valid if it has real security impact. Most hunters nod along at this but never actually internalise it, and it's why their reports get closed. Here's the simplest way to think about it. Ask yourself: "If an attacker used this bug, what could they actually achieve?" The answer has to be at least one of these: - They can view information they shouldn't be able to see - They can change information they shouldn't be able to change - They can make the service unavailable or unusable If you can't prove the attacker achieves one of those, the bug doesn't meet the bar and you shouldn't report it. Full stop. This is where pentesting and bug bounties part ways. In a pentest you'd also flag potential issues and general hygiene findings: cookie flags, SSL/TLS weaknesses, missing security headers, verbose error messages, and so on. None of those have direct impact, but they're worth knowing about and usually worth fixing anyway. A bounty program will just close them as informational. So before you hit submit, run the test: confidentiality, integrity, or availability. If you can't point to one of the three, you don't have a bug yet.

Reminder: Go to bed, bugs can wait. 😴 #BugBounty

Reflecting on major infrastructure disruptions reminds the industry that widespread tech reliance creates deep concentration risks. When a single software update can disrupt transportation, healthcare, and banking globally, resilience has to be designed into systems from the beginning. Our CEO, @davegerryjr, pointed out that practices like staged rollouts, reliable kill switches, and rigorous pre-deployment testing must become baseline requirements for software running with deep system privileges.

👋☁️ Hallo from the cloud! The Bugcrowd team had a fantastic time chatting with everyone at the @AWS Summit in Amsterdam today 🎉

Better AI outcomes start with better security evidence 🗂️ When signals from code, cloud, assets, and production stay disconnected, teams are left with more findings to interpret. When those signals are validated and connected, AI can help reason over what is exploitable and worth acting on. Bugcrowd product leaders Justin and Joe will break this down tomorrow!

Frontier AI teams are leveling up their models with Bugcrowd’s new Reinforcement Learning environments. By interacting with real software, AI learns to find, exploit, and patch vulnerabilities through practice. But AI can’t do it alone. True security still relies on human expertise to build the advanced frameworks and reward structures that teach models how to solve real-world problems. Our Chief AI and Science Officer, @thedavidbrumley, shares more.

Now that you don’t need any convincing, we can’t wait to see you there. Register for The Hive happening June 3 at #Infosec2026: luma.com/infosec26recep…

A recent vulnerability in PraisonAI was actively scanned by attackers within four hours of its public disclosure, proving how fast the threat window closes ⌛️ The flaw stemmed from a common oversight: authentication was disabled by default in a development-grade API server. Our Chief Strategy and Trust Officer, @treyford, warned that organizations fast-tracking AI agent adoption without auditing network bindings and credential exposures are taking on unquantified risk.
