Why run a Bug Bounty program?

Relevant bug reports and crowdsourced pentesting

A bug bounty program is a way to receive reports on security flaws from ethical hackers and independent security researchers before cybercriminals can exploit those vulnerabilities and ruin your reputation. Receive only relevant bug reports and undergo crowdsourced penetration testing with 20k+ ethical hackers curated by HackenProof.
