Backblaze Launches Bugcrowd Bug Bounty Program
March 28, 2022

Backblaze announced the public opening of its existing Bugcrowd Bug Bounty Program to all security researchers.

Backblaze has consistently invested in maintaining and upgrading its security portfolio—including the recent launch of server-side encryption for its S3 Compatible API for B2 Cloud Storage and the doubling in size of its Security team over the last year under the leadership of CISO Mark Potter. Leveraging the security expertise of the ethical hacking community through Bugcrowd underscores the company's commitment to cybersecurity best practices aligned with the constantly evolving threat landscape.

Bugcrowd encourages ethical hackers to attack businesses, find vulnerabilities in their software and processes, and aid in guiding the remediation of those vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by anyone else. Backblaze’s private bug bounty program with Bugcrowd has been running for over a year, but now that the program is public.

"... Blackblaze joins a visionary group of companies that see continuous, proactive security testing as a critical requirement for keeping customer data, and IT infrastructure overall, safe from attack." said Ashish Gupta, CEO, Bugcrowd.
