"Most Ethical Hackers Identifying Vulnerabilities They Did Not See Before the Pandemic"
New research from Bugcrowd found that around 80 percent of ethical hackers have recently discovered a vulnerability that they had not seen before the pandemic. Of the ethical hackers, 74 percent agreed that the number of vulnerabilities has increased since the start of the pandemic. According to Bugcrowd's annual survey of ethical hackers, 91 percent said point-in-time testing cannot secure companies all year-round. Casey Ellis, the founder and CTO at Bugcrowd, calls on companies to conduct continuous testing instead of point-in-time testing, which is testing at a particular moment. Continuous testing should be carried out from development through market launch and beyond. This article continues to discuss key findings from Bugcrowd's survey of ethical hackers.
