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

"At TikTok, we always want to be proactive rather than reactive. We aim to shift left, finding bugs at an early stage to ensure the safety of our environment before it goes live."

"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’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."

"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 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 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 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."

“HackerOne's bug bounty program suited the modern and forward-thinking tech teams at loveholidays. HackerOne's unique approach gets the approval of our DevOps engineers, encouraging them to actively work with the security team to enhance loveholidays' security posture."

"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 …

“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.”

“We want to see a world where a launch means something regarding security. Buyers banding together to require minimum mandatory bug bounties would send a signal to new companies that they have to secure their users before they can make a sale.”

“Their bug bounty program is world-class, a top HackerOne researcher. “They value our input and care about security across their entire ecosystem.”

"Having a bug bounty program is not an option, it's essential. Scaling internal testing can only go so far, working with the community helps uncover issues we may not have."
