"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."

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

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

“HackerOne programs are a fundamental part of our cybersecurity strategy.”

“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.”

“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 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 …

"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."

"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."
