Guide to Working with Hackers

The security skills gap keeps widening, and 88% of security leaders believe there are more security risks now than before 2020, yet much of the talent needed to close it no longer wants a full-time job. Many of the strongest ethical hackers, pentesters and red team operators prefer to work across several companies, where they find more bugs and earn more. This guide explains how to shift from a full-time hire mindset to buying skills as a service. It starts with what drives hackers, from personal development, the most common motivation at 28%, to financial gain, excitement and the challenge itself, and how their methods differ. It then turns those motivations into practical advice: choosing a scope that attracts the right people, setting rewards that reflect the work, writing a project brief hackers want to take on, and triaging quickly during an engagement so researchers stay interested and keep reporting.
