Auto Escalation

When a critical vulnerability is discovered, it is pertinent the right people are notified immediately to ensure it is quickly remediated. To best ensure users are aware of submissions that need immediate attention, Crowdcontrol offers auto-escalation functionality that will automatically kick-off an email notifying selected email addresses of a critical (P1) submission. The email notification will be sent after a Bugcrowd Application Security Engineer has triaged and confirmed a P1 vulnerability has been found. Set up a list of email addresses in Crowdcontrol to ensure the right people are notified so they can take action and eliminate the risk.

Single Email to Group Per Escalation: A single email will be sent per escalated submission to the entire mailing list of recipients (5 min delay).
