FAQs

Crowdfense does not use the acquired vulnerabilities directly. Instead, we act as a trusted intermediary: after thorough technical validation and documentation, each approved submission is delivered to the client who contracted us to procure such capabilities.

We ensure that:

  • The research meets strict quality, reliability, and impact standards

  • It is tailored to the client's requirements and operational context

  • All transfers are conducted under strict legal, compliance, and export control frameworks

Our role is to bridge top-tier offensive research with vetted partners, ensuring responsible use of advanced cyber capabilities.

Unlike public bug bounty platforms, Crowdfense offers private, high-stakes acquisitions focused exclusively on zero-day and high-impact vulnerabilities.

Key differences:

  • Unmatched payouts: We pay the highest bounties in the industry, often significantly exceeding what traditional platforms offer.

  • Private and exclusive: We operate a confidential, invite-only environment, ensuring that your research is handled securely and discreetly.

  • No vendor disclosure: We do not require coordination with affected vendors or public disclosure timelines.

  • Streamlined process: Our Vulnerability Research Hub (VRH) provides a smooth, secure experience from submission to payment.
