In this article, there was a study ran on bug bounties, which is a program usually done by online websites which will reward people that are able to find any type of bug or opening in their system or networks. It was found that companies within the finance, retail, and healthcare sectors of society were notified of vulnerabilities far less than other sectors. It was also found that after an organization joins one of these bug bounty programs, as they grow older, they receive far less calls about vulnerabilities and bugs as the years pass most likely because bugs become harder to find because so many of them have already been found and patched/fixed.
