Bugs vary in levels of severity. For example, a bug may be classified as critical, meaning there is a high risk associated with the bug. A critical bug can affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the product and end users using the product. A lower class vulnerability may be classified as minor, meaning there is low risk associated with the bug. For example, a low risk bug could be a visual error in the content display of an application. Bug bounties are less expensive to run than having multiple lawsuits filed and a data breach. Therefore, companies should invest in bug bounty programs to prevent monetary loss and to have outside people look for vulnerabilities in a system that the internal team has missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">References<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sridhar, K., &amp; Ng, M.
