The Story Behind BreachX

Following the 2008 Mumbai attacks, the ISAC Foundation was formed to address digital security threats in India. In 2011, ISAC launched the National Security Database (NSD), creating an elite registry of security professionals that became the benchmark for expertise across government and corporate sectors.

As cyber threats evolved, ISAC developed BreachX in 2025—a bug bounty platform connecting organizations with India's ethical hacking talent.

Today, BreachX stands as India's premier security community and the world's third-largest bug bounty platform, merging national security expertise with crowdsourced protection.
