Early Access Registration Opens to Black Hat, DEFCON, BlackGirlsHack, BSides Las Vegas Attendees for Cybersecurity's First Vulnerability/Exploit Ethical Brokerage
LAS VEGAS & BALTIMORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Desired Effect, the only vulnerability management exchange that lets organizations fully understand pre-emergent threats and lets independent researchers gain fairer compensation, will provide early access to select vulnerability researchers who book a meeting with the company during Hacker Summer Camp in Las Vegas this week. Hacker Summer Camp is the annual week of cybersecurity conferences that include Black Hat, DEFCON, BlackGirlsHack and BSides Las Vegas. Attackers profit richly, leaving defenders constantly in reaction mode. Desired Effect's Brokerage disrupts this broken model, empowering defenders to act before an attack and supporting more just compensation & recognition for researchers' discovery work Share To schedule an in-person meeting to apply for access, vulnerability researchers can go to: Early access granted to researchers meeting with Desired Effect provides the opportunity to start selling their capabilities immediately to a pool of vetted and approved buyers of their research services – including defenders from financial and eCommerce giants. For others not attending any of the Las Vegas conferences, those researchers can go to to join a wait list to be notified when the Desired Effect product reaches general availability. The Desired Effect Brokerage, formed by a team of former National Security Administration (NSA) cyber experts, is designed to provide subscribing organizations and their defenders access to powerful bidding pools to acquire deep, real-time research data on future zero-day exploits that are tailored to their unique tech stack to highlight the precise security technology at risk. This allows defenders to take immediate action to protect their clients. One subscriber says: 'The pain of threat intel is that it's damn near impossible to make operational. When you get something from Desired Effect, you know it's actionable, not academic.' Desired Effect offers, for the first time, the ability for cybersecurity researchers to gain access to an ethical marketplace that achieves market recognition and compensation levels that mirror their contributions. 'Today, attackers profit richly from pre-attack zero-day exploits, leaving defenders in a constant reaction mode,' said Evan Dornbush, CEO, Desired Effect. 'Desired Effect disrupts this broken model with the only ethical brokerage providing vetted organizations with pre-attack intelligence on existing zero-day risks highly relevant to their specific tech stacks – even acquiring exploits themselves to proactively defend. The Brokerage empowers defenders to act before the attack and supports more just compensation and recognition for researchers doing the grueling work of discovery. As a top line benefit, it also drives up adversaries' costs and levels the cyber warfare playing field.' Desired Effect strips attackers of the perpetual first-mover advantages they've enjoyed and the extremely low acquisition and operating costs that have allowed them to amass fortunes through theft. To learn more about Desired Effect membership plans, go to About Desired Effect Desired Effect provides all members with the earliest possible warning of vulnerabilities that could impact business operations via the technology they use, and the option to remove exploits from circulation. It provides researchers with the world's first open, ethical marketplace. Desired Effect normalizes the research, discovery and procurement of zero-day exploit data and, if desired, the exploits themselves. It provides legitimate and legal means for researchers and defender organizations to transact and collaborate. For more information, go to
