Bug bounty programs are a fairly new approach to the cybersecurity landscape. This allows companies to leverage the hacking community to improve their security systems, and in turn the companies pay hackers who find meaningful vulnerabilities. In terms of the relationship between economics and cybersecurity or in this case hacking, this is what the article has to say. The research shows that in terms of industry effects, bug boundaries are effective for companies. However, they also found that industries like medical, and finances receive fewer meaningful reports. This is due to the fact that vulnerabilities in the finance or medical industry can be more maliciously monetized. This causes hackers to strain away from reporting vulnerabilities in these industries.
