The San Francisco-based firm now says its expanding to offer crowdsourced pen-testing, a market CEO Mårten Mickos suggested now stands at roughly $1 billion. It’s a step up from the current bug bounty market, which he pegged at around $150 million.

“Most [penetration testing] companies suck,” Mickos said during a recent interview in New York City. “Our plan is to take the market share from pen test companies.”

HackerOne already is conducting pen tests with roughly a dozen clients, he said. Next, the company plans to recruit experienced penetration testers to boost its ranks, perhaps even by paying employed pen testers to do some work for HackerOne during their free time.
