Based on the article the bug bounty program is a solution for improving cybersecurity. They are a security measure for companies. The report mentions that the number of vulnerabilities found isn’t impacted significantly by the company size, bounty offered, or reputation, variables that would otherwise inflate the costs. Due to a trend of fewer reports over time, there might be a need for some updates done to the program to maintain engagement. The report also suggests that the effectiveness of the program reduces as it matures due to bugs being identified earlier. Overall, bug bounties are a cost-effective way to use the skills of ethical hackers to improve an organization’s cybersecurity position.
