"Using the HackerOne platform helps us cultivate (hacker) relationships and complements the GitLab mission that everyone can contribute."

“Over time, we’ve established secure development methodologies and quality testing schemes for the release of new components and changes to the platform, including the creation of a specific channel to address hacker reports, which are prioritized and included in the current sprint.”

"HackerOne fits naturally into how our team works, helping us respond and escalate quickly while keeping human judgment at the center. Anywhere, Anytime."

"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."

"HackerOne also played a crucial role in cutting down the noise so we could focus only on the valid issues."

"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."

"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 …

"We chose HackerOne as it not only connected us to an existing community of seasoned security researchers but also offered productivity features that automated aspects of the bug bounty triage process."

"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."

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

"We are employing strategies and programs, like our VDP with HackerOne, with the sole purpose of protecting our customers, their vehicles and their data."

“No one had done this before take a doll, put in a chip, connect to WiFi and hit an API. Our customers immediately saw the importance of that.”

"Our public bug bounty program is as important to the security of our product and company as any other program we run within our Security Team."

“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.”
