Casey turned hackers into a marketplace and built Bugcrowd to $180M+ raised. But the real story isn't about cybersecurity—it's about how he validated a two-sided marketplace with almost no product, refined his pitch by literally testing it on Uber drivers until it clicked, and cracked the code on category creation when everyone thought hackers were the enemy. You'll learn about the exact moment he knew he had product-market fit, why he blew every pitch to top VCs until he reframed his vision, and how giving away 500 t-shirts did more for growth than any paid marketing. If you're building a marketplace, creating a category, or just trying to figure out how to explain what you do—this is required listening.Why You Should Listen:Master the 30-second Uber pitch test—Casey's framework for refining your message until anyone gets it.Learn why problem-solution fit without product-market fit is worthless Validate your marketplace with $500 and no codeWhy your network is your only real asset pre-Series AThe surprising ROI of early brand marketing Keywords: startup podcast, startup podcast for founders, marketplace startup, go-to-market strategy, product-market fit, category creation, B2B sales, early-stage fundraising, founder pitch, cybersecurity startup00:00:00 Intro00:01:36 From white label pen testing to the Bugcrowd idea00:18:58 Testing with MailChimp and 5000 hackers signed up00:21:46 Landing Google as customer in month four00:24:24 Blowing every pitch meeting in Silicon Valley00:33:21 The Uber pitch technique for simplifying the message00:36:57 Early go-to-market tactics and hitting $1M00:43:37 Open heart surgery and stepping back as CEOSend me a message to let me know what you think!

As all of you know, there are no silver bullets when it comes to cybersecurity success in the industrial sector. Every enterprise has its own unique characteristics, each plant floor its different connectivity elements, and each business is comprised of diverse human dynamics that fuel its culture. However, regardless of the environment, there continues to be a handful of best practices that can be universally applied. As I journey across the cybersecurity realm, one of these reoccurring themes is avoiding that urge to “eat the elephant” or “drink the ocean” when implementing cybersecurity strategies. Rather, the thought process is to set priorities and check things off as you go. Our guest for this episode mentioned this numerous times, whether it comes to responding to an increasingly complex collection of threat actors, or tackling the right uses of artificial intelligence.Watch/listen as we discuss a number of topics with Casey Ellis, Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of BugCrowd, including:The very real threat of IABs (initial access brokers) and state-sponsored hackers.How his organization works to reinforce why it's cool to be a White Hat.How thinking like a criminal helps improve defenses through penetration testing and other exercises.Developing strategies that prioritize resilience over perfection.Integrating new technologies with patching in mind.Using AI to develop faster response times and focusing on "which part of the elephant to eat first," instead of doing "stupid stuff" because of the pressure to implement it.As a go-to podcast for our listeners, we want to help you align your brand with our expertise.

“When you look at cybersecurity…we've got to be constantly thinking about how we disrupt ourselves in order to actually solve the problem."Casey Ellis is a hacker, a founder, and an advisor and investor. Occupying a lot of different vantage points in cyber has given him a very unique perspective on the industry.George K and George A talk to Casey about: How Casey went from hacker to solution architect to entrepreneur, creating a marketplace that connects ethical hackers with companies who need them Why security startups focused solely on acquisition are hurting the industry (and why defenders deserve better) The reality check on AI in security - separating hype from actual value Why human creativity will always be necessary in security (automation is great, but humans build systems and humans break them)It's real and it's raw. As always.

In this episode of The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast, we recount some hacker history, and with the help of Casey Ellis, Founder and CSO at Bugcrowd, tell the story of the largest critical infrastructure ransomware attacks in history: The Colonial PipelineOn May 7, 2021, Colonial Pipeline, an American oil pipeline system that originates in Houston, Texas, and carries gasoline and jet fuel mainly to the Southeastern United States, suffered a ransomware cyberattack that impacted computerized equipment managing the pipeline. The Colonial Pipeline Company halted all pipeline operations to contain the attack. Overseen by the FBI, the company paid the amount that was asked by the hacker group (75 bitcoin or $4.4 million USD) within several hours; upon receipt of the ransom, an IT tool was provided to the Colonial Pipeline Company by DarkSide to restore the system. However, the tool required a very long processing time to restore the system to a working state.This episode was written by the talented Nathaniel Nelson.Casey Ellis can be found on LinkedIn here.

In this EM360 podcast hosted by IT-Harvest Chief Research Analyst Richard Stiennon, hear Bugcrowd Founder, Chairman, and CTO Casey Ellis talk about the growing need and use cases for crowdsourced cybersecurity, and the critical, positive role of ethical hackers in the cybersecurity ecosystem.
Casey Ellis recently joined Ephrata Area Social Services as the new Executive Director. Even though she is fresh in her position, she is excited to share the mission of EASS with the community. She has been overwhelmed and humbled by the staff, volunteers, and community that rallies around EASS and the clients served. She has learned quickly it really is about neighbors helping neighbors.
On this week's Cyber Work Podcast, BugCrowd and disclose.io! founder Casey Ellis discusses how to think like a cybercriminal, the crucial need for transparent vulnerability disclosure, the origins of BugCrowd and why mentorship is a gift that goes in both directions.– Join the monthly challenge: https://www.infosecinstitute.com/challenge – View Cyber Work Podcast transcripts and additional episodes: https://www.infosecinstitute.com/podcast0:00 - Intro 3:15 - Getting into cybersecurity4:30 - Criminal mindset in cybersecurity5:49 - Ellis's career to date 9:10 - Healthcare cybersecurity11:47 - Mentoring others 13:52 - Mentorship as a two-way street16:12 - Bugcrowd and bug bounty19:18 - Vulnerability disclosure project21:30 - Bug bounty popularity 24:52 - U.S. sanctions on hacking groups26:52 - Hiring hackers 31:52 - Pursue specialization 33:51 - Cyber threats flying under the radar39:17 - Working from home safely40:48 - How to get into bug bounties42:18 - How to report vulnerabilities44:04 - Advice to begin ethical hacking 45:23 - Learn more about Ellis 45:56 - OutroAbout InfosecInfosec believes knowledge is power when fighting cybercrime.

Humans are life-long learners — well, most of them anyway. Hackers are certainly the curious and "challenge accepted!" kind. In fact, learning as they go may even be considered a lifestyle. Instead of taking an exam at a university, they dive into a problem to solve, breaking things apart to see how they work and see how they can make them work better than they were originally designed/intended. Eventually, their exam papers become a bug submission via responsible disclosure. The reward? Not a degree, but a bounty. How cool is that?But what is in a hacker's mind? Who wouldn't want to know?In this final episode in the four-pack of conversations looking inside the mind of a hacker, we are joined by Katie Paxton-Fear, Lecturer in Cyber Security, The Manchester Metropolitan University, and Casey Ellis, Founder, Chairman, and CTO for Bugcrowd. Together we bring everything full circle to get the 360-view of what a hacker mindset really is; what does that even mean?To really get the full picture, however, you must listen to the other three episodes:EPISODE 1: With Joan Pepin, then-Chief Security Officer at Auth0, and Ashish Gupta, CEO and President at Bugcrowd | We talk about the business of crowdsourced security (You Can Build Out A Team But It Is Way Better To Turn To The Crowd)EPISODE 2: With Jasmin Landry, Sr. Application Security Advisor at Videotron and Grant McCracken, Senior Director, Program and Security Operations at Bugcrowd | We explore the geographics of hacking: what the researchers target and where they hack from (An International Hacker Community Comes Together To Root Out Technology Weaknesses)EPISODE 3: With Robin Marte, Ethical Hacker/Security Researcher at Bugcrowd, and Michael Skelton, Global Head of Security Operations and Researcher Enablement at Bugcrowd | We explore the demographics of hacking: what methods, experience, and collaboration mechanisms matter to the hacker community (There Will Always Be Hackers — We Just Need More)And, finally, in this grand finale EPISODE 4, we discover how hackers learn, some of the skills and traits they are born with and later acquire, the value of diverse thinking from diverse backgrounds and experiences, and what being part of the hacker tribe means to the hackers (and to society).What was once an elusive badge to gain — an exclusive tribe to be part of — has become both a world that welcomes new talent and a critical component of raising the security posture for so many organizations worldwide. The relationship between the hacker community continues to flourish. Through platforms like Bugcrowd and programs like disclose.io, the hacker community finds a safe and meaningful way to contribute to today's security tomorrow's safety in an increasingly-digital world.But enough talking about it, let's get inside the mind of a hacker.(This contains promotional content: learn more)GuestsKatie Paxton-Fear, Lecturer in Cyber Security, The Manchester Metropolitan University (@InsiderPhD on Twitter)Casey Ellis, Founder/Chairman/CTO, @Bugcrowd (@caseyjohnellis on Twitter)ResourcesLearn more about Bugcrowd and their offering: https://itspm.ag/itspbgcwebDownload and read the complete 2020 edition of the Inside the Mind of a Hacker report by visiting https://itspm.ag/2BeLHUZCatch the full 4-part video/podcast series by visiting https://www.itspmagazine.com/their-stories/2020-inside-the-mind-of-a-hacker-report-unique-histories-shared-destiny-a-bugcrowd-storyLearn more about disclose.ioAre you interested in telling your story?https://www.itspmagazine.com/telling-your-story
Forget about stereotypes of hackers being nefarious masterminds. Hackers are dynamic, young individuals who come from all walks of life — diversity is a big plus for this community — and so it is for the cybercriminals, but they actually are nefarious masterminds.Countless people are building the applications and systems we use at work and at home. It's a safe assumption they are smart people. Do hackers need to be as smart or smarter than them?We are glad you're back for another episode as we continue to unveil and explore what is inside the mind of a hacker.Today we chat with Robin Marte, Ethical Hacker/Security Researcher at Bugcrowd and Michael Skelton, Global Head of Security Operations and Researcher Enablement at Bugcrowd, as they share their background, experiences, and thoughts about the global hacker community.Our guests go beyond their profiles in the ITMOAH report to tell us what they hack on, the tools they use, how they manage ongoing training, mentorship, and collaboration with the community, and so much more.Security researchers come from all walks of life and live in countries spanning six of the world's seven continents. We're even starting to see researchers join together in teams — mini "hacker companies, if you will — securing physical office space and sitting side-by-side to take on bug bounty programs that would be more challenging to tackle on their own. This group model gives them a massive benefit over solo hackers — and the organizations running the bug bounty programs presumably benefit as well as they experience faster, better, and perhaps even more in-depth results.It's not all fun and games, however. Given the laws in the United States and around the world, hacking can be a dangerous profession. Given the current state of affairs, hackers must have a clear view of the bug bounty landscape they are traversing — which targets are safe, what are the boundaries, are the rules clearly defined? Can a formal bug bounty program coupled with a formal vulnerability disclosure program (VDP) — as can be seen listed on disclose.io — provide the necessary assurances to make it safe(r) for these researchers to do their good deeds? We hope it does, as there is plenty of scope for the researchers to explore. And, there aren't enough of them.We hope you enjoy this new chapter and what you learn from it.Have a listen... and get ready for the final episode with Katie Paxton-Fear and Casey Ellis. It's going to be the grand finale whopper you'd expect from this pairing.(This contains promotional content: learn more)GuestsRobin Marte, Ethical Hacker/Security Researcher at Bugcrowd (@masonhck357 on Twitter)Michael Skelton, Global Head of Security Operations and Researcher Enablement at Bugcrowd (@codingo_ on Twitter)ResourcesLearn more about Bugcrowd and their offering: https://itspm.ag/itspbgcwebDownload and read the complete 2020 edition of the Inside the Mind of a Hacker report by visiting https://itspm.ag/2BeLHUZCatch the full 4-part video/podcast series by visiting https://www.itspmagazine.com/their-stories/2020-inside-the-mind-of-a-hacker-report-unique-histories-shared-destiny-a-bugcrowd-storyLearn more about disclose.ioAre you interested in telling your story?https://www.itspmagazine.com/telling-your-story
