Capture The Bug is a cloud-based Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) and crowdsourced security platform designed for on-demand and continuous security testing. It facilitates vulnerability assessments and penetration testing across assets including web and mobile applications, APIs, cloud environments, network infrastructure, and IoT devices. The platform combines automated scanning with manual testing from a network of verified security researchers, utilizing standards such as the OWASP Top 10. It supports multiple testing models, including point-in-time penetration tests, continuous subscription-based programs, Vulnerability Disclosure Programs (VDP), and Bug Bounties.
The platform centralizes the security testing lifecycle, allowing organizations to schedule assessments, track findings in real-time through a vulnerability dashboard, and manage remediation workflows. It features direct collaboration tools for communication between development teams and security testers for triaging and remediation guidance. The system provides unlimited retesting to verify fixes and produces detailed, compliance-ready reports containing risk scores and reproduction steps to support continuous audit readiness.
