What we do at Detectify
The fear of cyber threats should never stand in the way of digital greatness. That is why we are changing the fundamentals of how cyber security works. We collaborate with ethical hackers to build a powerful platform that automates and scales crowdsourced vulnerability research.
For us, security is not just about protecting what you have but more so a tool to achieve what you want. At Detectify, your opinion and ideas matter. You belong to a dedicated, driven and forever curious team that recognises the power of knowledge sharing and challenging the status quo.
We value diversity of minds, different backgrounds, and perspectives. We are all here because we want to make a positive impact in the world. If you are collaborative and passionate about what you do, then you too could be a Detectifyer.
The Crowdsource Team
The Crowdsource team is a product delivery team that today consists of 4 developers, a Product Designer, an Engineering Manager and a Product Manager. The team is first of all responsible for making sure that the members of the Detectify Crowdsource community - our network of ethical hackers - are engaged and enjoying the best possible experience when collaborating with Detectify. The team is responsible to maximize the value that our community brings to Detectify’s customers.
Detectify Crowdsource is an ethical hacker community and Bug bounty platform with about 400 hackers. When a hacker submits a vulnerability to Detectify, we build a security test from it which is then made available to all our customers – this is how Detectify combines automation and crowdsourcing.
The team loves working in close collaboration and lives and breathes modern agile principles. We are committed to constantly delivering value to our customers as well as having an experimental mindset to make sure we learn rapidly and are always thinking on how we can solve real user problems and thereby increase the value of our platform.
