The article breaks down how bug bounty programs are being used by companies to improve their cybersecurity without spending a ton of money. These programs basically let ethical hackers look for weaknesses in a system in exchange for a reward. According to the literature review, the growing demand comes from a shortage of cybersecurity experts and the idea that having more people looking at code increases the chances of catching bugs. What’s interesting is that the findings show most hackers aren’t just in it for the money they actually care about the challenge and building their skills. So, even companies that don’t have big payouts can still get useful results. The article also mentions that the number of reported bugs goes down over time, probably because the system gets more secure. Overall, the study makes a strong case for why bug bounty policies are a smart move, especially for smaller organizations.
