"A vulnerability disclosure program with bug bounties signaled LocalTapiola reaching a new level of security sophistication, not only in the financial services arena, but in the wider cyber security world too."

"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."

"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."

"In addition to some amazing, creative submissions, we’ve received some incredible feedback from researchers. In just a few short months, we’ve used that feedback to make substantial changes to our scope, payments, and transparency. We want hackers to challenge and educate us, and build a trusting and respectful relationship that …

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

"We can’t strive to be a great security team without you! You are part of my team!"

"We have a strong partnership with HackerOne. Since launching the program in 2020, we've deeply valued their support, which has allowed us to greatly expand our program's scope and impact."

"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."

"The process of manually creating credentials was tedious and time-consuming, and it often ended up in our program lacking valid credentials, especially since many of them expire after a month. This prompted us to create automated scripts and leverage HackerOne’s API to automate the process. This automation was created after …

"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 …

"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 …

"AI red teaming allows us to explore the possibilities of what attackers might achieve—not just what’s likely. Working with HackerOne has shown us that human ingenuity often outperforms adversarial datasets or AI-generated attacks."

"Hitting $1M in bounties is a badge of honor. It reflects our commitment to valuing the intelligent security researchers who help keep us safe. Bug bounty programs are notoriously difficult to build, but HackerOne’s talented community provides us with the expertise and creativity we need to secure our platform. Our …
