"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."

"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."

"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."

"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 …

"With a normal pentest, you don’t get vulnerability reports until the engagement is over. That’s not ideal, because it means vulnerabilities go unfixed for longer, and you can’t have issues retested without booking a whole new engagement. HackerOne Pentest solved both of these problems for us, and enabled us to …

"HackerOne has been much more successful at finding problems than general penetration tests have been for us."

"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."

"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."

“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.”

“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 …

“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.”
