"We believe there is immense value in having a bug bounty program as part of our cybersecurity strategy, and we encourage all companies, not just those in the hospitality industry, to take a similar approach and consider bug bounty as a proactive security initiative."

"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 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."

"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."

"Our researcher community’s approach is rooted in curiosity, creativity, and the relentless pursuit of finding flaws others might miss. This mindset is distinct from building and reinforcing technical models, yet it’s an essential complement. While internal teams focus on defending and aligning AI systems, engaging with a community of researchers …

"With HackerOne and their triage services we now have a sturdy database with ticketing capabilities. Here at AlienVault we’ve also taken advantage of their 3rd party ticketing system integration so once the triage team deems a ticket both a valid vulnerability and not a duplicate, we create a ticket directly …

"Our public bug bounty program is as important to the security of our product and company as any other program we run within our Security Team."

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

“Ensuring you’ve established the appropriate staffing levels and support structure are key to success when starting a bug bounty program, This includes security engineers to review, validate and triage the findings who can work across the development groups to test and mitigate.”

"HackerOne is a well-known platform across the information security community which aggregates the most successful bug bounty programs to date."

"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 …
