Bugcrowd partners with Least Authority for security boost

Bugcrowd has announced a partnership with Least Authority to enhance secure-by-design consultancy through continuous security testing.

Least Authority, based in Berlin, provides specialised services to support FinTech and Web3 products, including code audits, specification reviews, and system architecture assessments. The firm is known for its work on distributed systems, blockchain protocols, AI/ML algorithms, and cryptographic protocols, particularly zero-knowledge proofs and multi-party computation.

To date, Least Authority has successfully completed over 225 audits, collaborating with prominent industry entities such as Ethereum, MetaMask, Filecoin, Stacks, Polygon, and Zcash. The new alliance allows Least Authority to leverage Bugcrowd's extensive network of security researchers for continuous testing as these systems develop and evolve.

Liz Steininger, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director at Least Authority, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, "In today's rapidly evolving threat landscape, relying on traditional security methods is no longer enough. We're excited to offer this forward-thinking combination with Bugcrowd to clients who understand that security requires constant innovation and collaboration."

Jacques Lopez, Vice President of Global Channel Sales & Strategic Alliances at Bugcrowd, remarked on the strengths of Least Authority, "Least Authority does amazing work to secure complex distributed environments from design to production. The collaboration with Bugcrowd enables the company to add value with continuous testing services using Bugcrowd's AI-powered platform."

This collaboration aims to provide comprehensive and continuous security testing solutions, using Bugcrowd's platform to integrate the expertise of its global hacker community with Least Authority's services to maximise security measures.
