Bugcrowd published its 'Inside the Platform: Bugcrowd’s Vulnerability Trends Report' for the year, highlighting increases in vulnerability submissions.
Government sector observed a 151% rise in submissions and a 58% increase in high-priority rewards, while retail, corporate services, and computer software sectors also saw significant increases.
Key predictions for 2024 include the use of adversarial AI by threat actors and the emphasis on supply chain security, third-party risk, and the 'human risk factor'.
The platform noted a preference for public crowdsourced programs over private ones and found that open scopes yield 10 times more critical vulnerabilities.
The report serves as a resource for security leaders and outlines advocacy efforts for ethical hacking; it's based on data collected from Bugcrowd's platform between January and October 2023.
