"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."
"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."
"Being able to have issues retested during the same engagement is a game-changer. That’s something that hasn’t been available in the past because traditionally, you didn’t receive the results of a penetration test until after the engagement was over."
“However, in order to become a trusted partner you need to go further than that. With HackerOne we were able to harness the expertise and skills of a huge hacker community in real time, so we could start applying fixes straight away.”
"We obviously can’t hire enough engineers to protect against every possible vulnerability, but we can use our bug bounty program to add on-demand expertise where we need it and continuous coverage nearly everywhere else."
"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."
"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 are employing strategies and programs, like our VDP with HackerOne, with the sole purpose of protecting our customers, their vehicles and their data."
"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 take advantage of the triaging services to help with our workload."
"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."
"Bug bounty programs are an important part of the modern software development lifecycle."
“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 and handling payments.”
"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 HackerOne bug bounty program allows us to put another cog in the wheel of security."
“We want to see a world where a launch means something regarding security. Buyers banding together to require minimum mandatory bug bounties would send a signal to new companies that they have to secure their users before they can make a sale.”
