The Economics of Software Flaw Discoveries, Exploits Twitter Casey Ellis, founder and CTO, Bugcrowd The economics of vulnerability discoveries and exploits is always evolving, and knowing those dynamics can provide insights into what attackers are doing, says Casey Ellis, founder and CTO of Bugcrowd, a platform for crowdsourced vulnerability reporting and bug bounties. Researchers are finding more bugs that ever, including CVEs that drop attackers off at privileged points in networks, he says. "Remote access software has definitely had its limits tested over the past 12 months -- people just basically expanding the usage of those types of systems and potentially deploying them when they haven't necessarily thought through security architecture," Ellis says.
