The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has partnered with Bugcrowd to launch the first ever federal civilian enterprise-wide crowdsourced vulnerability disclosure policy (VDP) platform. The move will allow Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies to coordinate with the civilian hacker community about vulnerabilities in their critical systems. FCEB agencies will now be able to receive security feedback from Bugcrowd’s community of ethical hackers around the world, helping them quickly identify and monitor vulnerabilities in their critical systems. The collaboration follows the publication of the Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 20-01 in September last year. This directive mandates all FCEB agencies to develop and publish a VDP “for purposes of safeguarding federal information and information systems.”
