Jason Mueller is a cybersecurity professional and former U.S. Navy cryptologist with over 20yrs of hands-on experience in cyber operations. Having worked across government, defense, and commercial sectors, Jason brings a unique perspective on the evolving threat landscape and how organizations can stay ahead of it.

With a background rooted in operational security and a deep appreciation for the hacker mindset, Jason is passionate about helping organizations adopt modern, proactive approaches to cybersecurity that are both practical and impactful.Abstract:
As threats evolve faster than ever, traditional security models struggle to keep pace. Enter crowdsourced security—a model that taps into the global hacker community to uncover vulnerabilities before adversaries do. In this session, we’ll explore how Bugcrowd is helping organizations—from startups to the federal government—scale their security programs through managed bug bounty, vulnerability disclosure, and penetration testing. We’ll walk through real-world lessons learned, common pitfalls, and how aligning with frameworks like OWASP Top 10 enhances outcomes. Whether you’re an AppSec professional, pentester, or just curious about the power of ethical hacking at scale, this session will provide insights you can take back to your own environment.Location:
