Case Study: Aegon strengthens application security with Zerocopter

Pushing Security Left With Zerocopter

Aegon, a leading provider of life insurance, pensions, and asset management, needed a better way to secure applications without slowing development. Security had traditionally been brought in too late in the SDLC, creating delays and limiting visibility, so the company looked for a more scalable approach and chose Zerocopter’s bug bounty / continuous security testing service.

With Zerocopter, Aegon moved security earlier in development and gained continuous testing with hacker screening, triage, predefined bounty pricing, and high-quality reporting. The program quickly uncovered vulnerabilities missed by traditional pentests: within two hours, 25% of the reserved budget was used, and after ten days the initial 85 researchers had already found issues not previously in scope, helping Aegon validate the value of bringing Zerocopter into its development process permanently.
