Apiiro and Bugcrowd collaborate to accelerate AppSec teams’ risk remediation and strengthen their security posture, unifying security findings across their testing tools and bug bounty programs. This holistic, unified approach fuses both offensive and defensive approaches, making it easier than ever for AppSec teams to continuously reduce risk.

Why Apiiro + Bugcrowd

The leader in crowdsourced security, Bugcrowd has democratized the expert knowledge of security leaders across the world with their SaaS platform that activates skilled, trusted hackers on demand. With Bugcrowd, organizations can streamline and optimize their bug bounty, penetration testing, vulnerability disclosure, and attack surface management programs. This approach enables customers to augment their automated testing for powerful, continuous risk reduction.

Just as Bugcrowd helps customers uncover and tackle application risks, Apiiro’s ASPM platform empowers organizations to get holistic visibility across their software inventory, prioritize risk based on likelihood and impact, and accelerate remediation. Deeply rooted in code and enriched with runtime sources, Apiiro illuminates the entire application and software supply chain attack surface, including code modules, data, APIs, authorization and authentication controls, infrastructure, and more. With our Deep Code Analysis, we go beyond vulnerability detection to continuously analyze code, prioritize risk based on likelihood and impact, streamline workflows, and make it easier than ever to operationalize an AppSec program. 

By combining the risk reduction capabilities of Bugcrowd with the inter-process unification of Apiiro deep code analysis, organizations gain clarity across their entire AppSec program.With richer context across their attack surface risk, our customers can:

• Unify visibility for a holistic AppSec program
• Accelerate MTTR with automated workflows and enriched risk context
• Improve the scope for bug bounty programs

Unify visibility for a holistic AppSec Program

Penetration testing and bug bounty insights often live in separate tools, making it challenging for AppSec teams to get the full picture of risk. With Apiiro and Bugcrowd, our shared customers can break down these silos by bringing risks identified in their crowdsourced bug bounty programs, penetration tests, and more into the Apiiro ASPM platform for a holistic view of their AppSec risk. This enables teams to prioritize the most critical vulnerabilities, whether uncovered through manual methods or automated tools like static analysis and dynamic scanning. 

With this integration, our customers not only achieve unified visibility and insights across their entire attack surface, but also gain a holistic way to track, measure, report on, and optimize their AppSec processes. 

Accelerate mean time to remediation (MTTR) with automated workflows and enriched risk context

When a risk is identified, teams can efficiently respond using integrated workflows. This approach provides clear remediation paths and automation, significantly streamlining remediation cycles and accelerating risk reduction. Customers can further expedite risk mitigation with enhanced insights, context, and business impact derived from the associated applications, and streamline management by assigning risks to specific teams.

Improve the scope for bug bounty programs

Leveraging deep code analysis and runtime context, Apiiro helps AppSec teams to get a rich, continuous inventory of their technologies, processes, tools, and security coverage. These insights help them define and refine their bug bounty or pen-testing scope in Bugcrowd; Apiiro informs which assets should be scoped, without providing access to source code. However, equipped with a deeper understanding of the underlying technologies and architecture of applications, testers can also conduct more targeted and effective gray box penetration testing.

Customers can leverage the Apiiro Risk Graph Explorer to build advanced queries – helping prioritizing applications, assets and components that should be covered by their bug bounty and penetration testing programs. 

Furthermore, customers can leverage Apiiro’s automated workflows to initiate penetration testing when material changes are detected in the codebase. Apiiro provides comprehensive visibility into all timeline events across the organization’s entire codebase, allowing customers to track and assess changes effectively. This ensures that newly added sensitive components are thoroughly covered and that security assessments are consistently up-to-date, helping to maintain a robust security posture.

The better together story

Bugcrowd activates security practitioners across the world to help organizations uncover and tackle application risks. Apiiro, the diamond standard for ASPM, integrates and enriches with deep context those findings from vulnerability disclosure programs, bug bounty programs, and penetration testing. Working together, Apiiro and Bugcrowd help AppSec teams… 

• Accelerate MTTR and assign risk mitigation
• Gain a holistic view of their AppSec risks across different toolings
• Automate vulnerability detection and enable customers to prioritize their remediation efforts
• Refine the scope of their bug bounty and pen-testing programs.
