Today’s cybersecurity landscape is plagued with motivated adversaries, expanding attack surfaces, ineffective security architectures, and a growing cyber skills gap — with an estimated 3.5 million unfilled cybersecurity positions by 2021. Bugcrowd University helps to address the skills shortage by providing security researcher education and training to improve the state of application security training, community engagement, and content delivery.

According to the 2019 Inside the Mind of a Hacker report, 43% of hackers learn how to hack via online resources and blogs. Bugcrowd is committed to helping foster and grow the whitehat community through programs like Bugcrowd University. As such, training courses are free and open to all security researchers, not just those on the Bugcrowd platform, with the goal of introducing new researchers to crowdsourced security.
“It takes a Crowd — that’s our researcher community motto,” said Casey Ellis, founder and CTO of Bugcrowd. “What we’ve learned over the last decade of working with this community is that it’s all about giving back and working together to make the internet a safer place. As such, we’re doubling down on collaborating with some of the brightest in our Crowd to develop our next set of course work within Bugcrowd University. We’re thrilled to empower more people around the world with these crucial skills — helping to tip back the balance in favor of defenders.”
