"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 …

"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 …

"HackerOne Code not only gives us real-time security before code goes to production, we're seeing value in getting insight from professional developers in the industry."

"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 …

"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 …
