"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."

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

"We’ve received a lot of guidance (on working with hackers) from HackerOne and it's been a great experience."

"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."

"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 greater amount of diverse vulnerabilities allows us to identify and improve our SDL more efficiently and to keep learning new trends and approaches about vulnerabilities, new attack vectors, and blind spots."

“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 …

"We have an industry-leading vulnerability disclosure program that protects ethical researchers and partnered with HackerOne to include sensitive vendors in the scope of our bug bounty program to help protect our entire ecosystem. Our hope is that bug bounty programs like ours continue to spearhead a culture of collaboration and …

“The third party inspection of code adds a layer of confidence to ownCloud’s over 8M users and administrators. Enterprises know their deployment has undergone the rigors of ownCloud QA, their own testing, and the bounty-driven testing of security experts resulting in more secure file sharing for many environments.”

“We plan to increase the size of our bug bounties. I am confident that HackerOne’s community of hackers will continue rising to the challenge.”
