"If I were to build an internal team to find vulnerabilities on the same scale as HackerOne, it would be very challenging — security salaries aren’t cheap, and it would take a year to ramp up a team fully. Via HackerOne, I can get immediate access to experts who are …

"We obviously can’t hire enough engineers to protect against every possible vulnerability, but we can use our bug bounty program to add on-demand expertise where we need it and continuous coverage nearly everywhere else."

"We have been on a mission to transition from being a hardware company to also providing software and services for our customers. Certainly, that changes one's security lens. It's a completely different environment to have cloud-based, retail execution software available for enterprise-level organizations compared to having hardware- based printers installed …

"Being able to have issues retested during the same engagement is a game-changer. That’s something that hasn’t been available in the past because traditionally, you didn’t receive the results of a penetration test until after the engagement was over."

"Every organization has blind spots. Having the hacker community on the other side of the screen looking at those things you’ve missed means you can close those holes."

"We take advantage of the triaging services to help with our workload."

"HackerOne has been much more successful at finding problems than general penetration tests have been for us."

"The (HackerOne) triage team is like an extension of our own team. Worth every penny."

"We know that state-sponsored actors and black-hat hackers want to challenge and exploit our networks. We know that. What we didn't fully appreciate before this pilot was how many white-hat hackers there are who want to make a difference, who want to help keep our people and our nation safer."

"We know for a fact that sending a wide variety of hackers into a wide environment will result in something meaningful. It is a fact. We cannot hire every amazing hacker and have them come work for us, but we can do these crowdsourced bug bounties. I’m done with being …

"The ideal end-state is that bug bounties become a regular, common tool in securing all IT assets across the Department of Defense. We will always have security vulnerabilities. We can approach that reality one of two ways: we can deny it, or we can be proactive, open to it and …

"A vulnerability disclosure program with bug bounties signaled LocalTapiola reaching a new level of security sophistication, not only in the financial services arena, but in the wider cyber security world too."

“Since the HackerOne Triage team is wellcalibrated on our scope, they offload some of the work from our security team, such as report triage, identifying duplicated reports, and scope mismatch. In other words, the HackerOne Triage team acts as an extension to our security team.”

"HackerOne’s program overview provides deeper visibility into our program health. Our team can identify specific periods where targets are being hit and missed, and course-correct as necessary."

"AI red teaming allows us to explore the possibilities of what attackers might achieve—not just what’s likely. Working with HackerOne has shown us that human ingenuity often outperforms adversarial datasets or AI-generated attacks."
