“Ensuring you’ve established the appropriate staffing levels and support structure are key to success when starting a bug bounty program, This includes security engineers to review, validate and triage the findings who can work across the development groups to test and mitigate.”

"Adobe's products are more secure thanks to our security team's collaboration with HackerOne and the security researchers we get to work with."

"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 …

"We tried pen testing before and found it very expensive and practically useless. The first week we launched HackerOne they found several high priority bugs. Huge value at the fraction of the costs."

"When the same internal teams are testing an application for a long time, they lose that ‘fresh-eye’ perspective that often helps in finding interesting bugs."

"The program has been successful because of the continued contributions from diverse, talented researchers."

"The program with HackerOne has surfaced the most interesting results across all of our AI testing and is by far the most cost-effective."

"Our goal was to increase visibility into hidden vulnerabilities and strengthen our overall security posture in a way that complemented our internal efforts."

"We decided that we needed a more diverse group of testers, while still meeting and exceeding compliance standards, which is what led us to HackerOne and the hacker-powered security model."

"HackerOne Code not only gives us real-time security before code goes to production, we're seeing value in getting insight from professional developers in the industry."

"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."

"There is a lot of education left to do, both to producers and customers of security-critical code. We hope bug bounty programs becomes an industry-standard, for the sake of security and stability of the entire industry."

"The HackerOne program overview page helps sell the value of having a hacker-powered security program in place. We are able to understand changes in report workload to ensure our team is equipped to meet demand, drill down into key vulnerability trends across our program, and socialize key metrics to our …

"Our researcher community’s approach is rooted in curiosity, creativity, and the relentless pursuit of finding flaws others might miss. This mindset is distinct from building and reinforcing technical models, yet it’s an essential complement. While internal teams focus on defending and aligning AI systems, engaging with a community of researchers …

“By enabling all teams that work in cybersecurity to better understand the root causes of real-life examples, we can avoid more issues earlier in the software development lifecycle. The HackerOne workshop helps to educate 100s of Sage employees and strengthen our capabilities and how we respond to situations.”
