EXPERT NETWORK
Work with Zerod as an expert.
The Zerod platform includes a curated network of security researchers, ethical hackers and individual compliance experts. This is the human layer at the top of our pyramid: the one that steps in when human judgment is irreplaceable.
Where you fit.
If you work independently in offensive security or compliance advisory, this is where you fit.
It is the layer that steps in when human judgment is irreplaceable.
The layer you feed is described in the Security Validation pillar.

Thousands of hunters on one target
Zerod Researchers Network
Ethical hackers, pentesters, zero-day researchers, red teamers: join a network of over 150 verified ethical hackers from different regions, working on high-value projects assigned to your specific skills.
What makes the Zerod network different from open bug bounty platforms:
Curated, not open.
We verify and assign: you are not competing with thousands of hunters on the same target
Projects, not bounties.
Structured scopes, defined budgets, clear deliverables
Compliance context.
Every project connects to a client’s compliance programme: your findings carry direct business value
Assigned to your expertise.
Web app specialists work on web apps. Cloud experts work on cloud
Predictable, not opportunistic.
A steady flow of scoped projects: you are not chasing scope leaks or waiting for something to appear.
What we look for
