This week’s sponsor interview is with Casey Ellis, the CTO of Bugcrowd. As you’ll hear, Bugcrowd did a survey of managers in security to see if their attitudes around work from home had changed since the COVID-19 crisis, and yes, they have. Casey also tells us about Bugcrowd’s latest LevelUp virtual conference. That conversation led to him sharing some interesting insights about trends amongst the crowd of registered testers on Bugcrowd’s platform.
