Bugcrowd partners with Cyber Vigilance to boost UK cybersecurity

Bugcrowd has announced Cyber Vigilance as a value-added channel partner for the United Kingdom. This collaboration aims to address critical cybersecurity skills shortages by leveraging Bugcrowd's hacker community.

Cyber Vigilance focuses on large-scale, sophisticated cybersecurity projects for tier one banks and telecommunications firms. These services encompass a range of security aspects, including endpoints, email, web, cloud, and data security.

Toby Butler, Chief Revenue Officer of Cyber Vigilance, reported that the partnership would help clients deal with persistent shortages in cybersecurity talent. "Retaining and hiring in-house cybersecurity resources is one of the biggest challenges our customers face. Bugcrowd enables them to tap into an extensive on-demand talent pool for critical projects from bug bounty programmes and vulnerability management to pentesting. At Cyber Vigilance, we pride ourselves on working with partners who are not only disruptive but can solve the immediate challenges our customers face. Working with Bugcrowd, we can find and remediate vulnerabilities our customers didn't know existed," Butler stated.

Bugcrowd's recent acquisition of more than USD $100 million in funding will support their international expansion, with the UK identified as a significant growth area. Jacques Lopez, Vice President of Global Channel Sales and Strategic Alliances at Bugcrowd, commented on the market potential in the UK. "The UK presents the greatest growth opportunities for us in EMEA. Cyber Vigilance, like Bugcrowd, prioritises both technology and people. Their managed services have earned customer trust and provided deep insights into security postures, making them well-positioned to offer Bugcrowd's testing services. Security is a team effort, and strategic relationships are key to Bugcrowd's community-focused approach. Collaborating with partners like Cyber Vigilance allows us to integrate seamlessly into their existing security ecosystems," he said.

The partnership is expected to benefit clients by pooling resources to tackle complex cybersecurity challenges more effectively. Cyber Vigilance's established customer base and expertise in managed services, combined with Bugcrowd's innovative crowdsourced security solutions, offer a robust approach to modern cybersecurity threats.
