SAN FRANCISCO - 01/29/2018 - NCC Group announced today the hiring of Adam Ruddermann as director of its Bug Bounty Services practice. He will continue to develop NCC Group's bug bounty services and lead the expansion of the practice from North America into the EMEA and APAC markets.
Ruddermann joins the global cyber security and risk mitigation expert from Facebook, where he led one of the largest and longest-standing bug bounty programs. As a co-founder of the BountyCraft conference series, he is active in bringing vendors and bug bounty programs together to support and develop whitehat security research.

Beyond bug bounty, Ruddermann brings with him a wealth of experience in security. He previously served in U.S. government security and intelligence roles as a consultant and product manager with Booz Allen Hamilton and as a technical lead at the NSA Red Team while in the United States Air Force.

'We are always focusing on growing, expanding, and enhancing our portfolio of services. Adam brings the right industry expertise and knowledge to take our bug bounty services into new markets,' said Nick Rowe, chief operating officer of NCC Group North America.

'Bug bounties are a key component of any comprehensive security program,' said Ruddermann.
