It’s time to get proactive about security: Bugcrowd Managed Bug Bounty activates trusted, skilled hackers to help continuously find hidden vulnerabilities that are beyond the reach of automated tools or traditional pen testing.
Managed Bug Bounty engagements on the Bugcrowd Platform source and incentivize skilled, trusted hackers (the Crowd) to find hidden vulnerabilities that traditional testing by scanners and pen tests will miss. Our platform amplifies the bug bounty value proposition with AI technology (CrowdMatchTM), managed triage, and insights derived from a decade of managing 1000s of successful engagements — reducing operational costs as well as the risk of breach.
Activate precisely the right trusted hackers for your needs based on skills, track record, and impact to find more critical vulnerabilities. Granular access control for targets provides extra security and visibility for you and hackers alike.
A high signal-to-noise ratio is critical for success. Our platform’s industry-leading managed triage service validates and prioritizes findings quickly, reliably, and at scale.
Findings flow directly into your security and development processes through pre-built connectors and APIs to enable fast, continuous remediation.
We offer the flexibility of a “crawl, walk, run” approach, backed by over a decade of experience. Managed migrations are available at no extra cost.
Bugcrowd Managed Bug Bounty engagements launch and deliver results quickly, slashing mean time to remediation and risk around the clock.

Other providers ignore your specific assets, environment, and needs when activating and engaging hackers–virtually guaranteeing low-impact results. Instead, we use CrowdMatchTM AI in our platform to curate trusted, motivated hackers for your precise requirements across 100s of dimensions, boosting high-quality results by 2x and more over other methods.
Unlike other providers that treat triage like an afterthought, we consider triage a critical competency. Our managed services amplify the skills of our global, in-house team with specialized AI models and data that no other provider can match, including access to the industry’s richest graph of vulnerability intelligence. That enables rapid intake, validation, and triage along with remediation advice, even during global incidents like Log4J. Bugcrowd is a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA), so you can request official CVE IDs for your vulns, if desired.
Disjointed security solutions and point-to-point integrations are the bane of the CISO’s existence. The Bugcrowd Platform avoids that pain by serving as an integration hub that flows prioritized findings directly into your existing DevSec tools and processes via pre-built connectors, webhooks, and rich APIs. The result is continuous vulnerability discovery that keeps pace with your continuous SDLC.
The Bugcrowd Platform includes a massive security knowledge graph containing millions of data points about vulnerabilities, assets, environments, and skill sets developed over a decade of experience. That data enables rich analytics, reports (see sample), and recommendations to help you continuously monitor KPIs and improve your security posture.
The Engagement Simulator is your AI-powered solution for designing a high-impact Managed Bug Bounty, built on real-world data from thousands of successful programs (see demo). Run unlimited simulations to forecast submission volume, reward spend, and scope tradeoffs—before you ever go live. Whether you’re aligning stakeholders or fine-tuning your scope, this tool helps you model outcomes, build confidence, and launch with precision. Fully integrated into the Bugcrowd Platform, it delivers clarity, control, and results in one seamless experience.
The Bugcrowd Security Knowledge Platform helps you continuously find and fix critical vulnerabilities that other approaches miss.
Working as an extension of the Bugcrowd Platform, our global team of security engineers rapidly validates and triages submissions, with P1s often handled within hours
The platform integrates workflows with your existing tools and processes to ensure that applications and APIs are continuously tested before they ship
