The article discusses the efficiency and practicality of using “bug bounties.” That is when companies and organizations of all sizes can pay freelance cybersecurity researchers to find and explain the vulnerabilities in their systems, promoting safer and more cost-effective cybersecurity practices. The study shows that using bug bounty hunters is more effective and cost-efficient than training and hiring regular cybersecurity employees. Though I do understand why exposing a company’s system to random people with no loyalty to the company would be unappealing, personally I think that using different freelancers instead of a set of people on staff would be a safer option. By allowing the system to be reviewed by new security professionals with fresh eyes so that it is less likely something would be missed.
