This paper analyzes bug bounty programs through data from HackerOne to build an economic model describing their operating efficiency. Research in the article traces bug bounty program historical development while demonstrating how these programs connect corporate entities to ethical hackers. The programs enable organizations to detect weaknesses through economic compensation of hackers who align their financial objectives. The article presents research to show that payment programs shape both the number of reported vulnerabilities and their overall quality during discussion. Through the economic framework organizations can find the right reward structure to stimulate expert hacking activities while avoiding expenses beyond their reasonable limit.
