Case Study: the Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State strengthens cybersecurity with Bugcrowd

The Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State finds vulnerabilities in 1.8 days with Bugcrowd

The Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State, a government office serving voters and businesses, needed to proactively strengthen its security posture to protect confidential data. Their challenge was to reduce risk exposure, build relationships with the ethical hacker community, and find a consistent way to receive vulnerability reports. They chose to implement a Vulnerability Disclosure Program (VDP) with Bugcrowd.

Bugcrowd provided a platform for the Office to engage with skilled ethical hackers. The solution successfully identified hidden, high-impact vulnerabilities that automated tools had missed, reducing the risk of security incidents. The program also improved the Office's security brand and built productive relationships with hackers. Bugcrowd delivered actionable findings quickly, with an average triage time of 1.8 days for submitted vulnerabilities.
