Kara Sprague was named CEO at San Francisco-based cybersecurity company HackerOne last last year.
HackerOne offers bug bounty, pentesting, code security audits, spot checks, and AI red teaming products. The company, founded in 2012, raised a $49 million Series E round in 2022. Its customers include Coinbase, General Motors, GitHub, Goldman Sachs, Hyatt, PayPal, and the U.S. Department of Defense.
Sprague, based in Seattle, Wash., replaced longtime CEO Marten Mickos. “This is phenomenal news for HackerOne, for ethical hacking, and for the whole industry,” Mickos wrote on LinkedIn.
Amanda Glassner, Deputy Editor at Cybercrime Magazine, recently interviewed Srague on our podcast. The discussion centered on the mission of cybersecurity, representation of women in our field, and much more.
