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

"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."

"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 …

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

"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."

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

“It's about maintaining trust with our merchants. Entrepreneurs are running their businesses and they don't want to worry about security, so we have to ensure any issue gets addressed. HackerOne provides a return on our investment through its large community of talent and by taking care of administration, vetting researchers …

"One of the best ways for us to augment our internal security team is to work with the white hat community. This was a pain before HackerOne but now is significantly easier."

"Security is not a one-time thing, but a continuous cycle. We know that there are always going to be bugs in software development. As we develop, and as we iterate, we want to make sure security is an active part of that process, and never a roadblock to innovation. The …

"With a normal pentest, you don’t get vulnerability reports until the engagement is over. That’s not ideal, because it means vulnerabilities go unfixed for longer, and you can’t have issues retested without booking a whole new engagement. HackerOne Pentest solved both of these problems for us, and enabled us to …

"The program overview delivers contextual data across our vulnerability life cycle, allowing us to view trends and patterns over time so we can identify gaps and optimize our program."

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

“If you're going into a bush blind, you don't know what's going to happen.”

"If our bug bounty program can find at least one critical vulnerability per quarter for two or three quarters in a row, we know the program is worth the money we spend on it."

"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 …
