This article looks at how bug bounty programs help companies find security flaws by paying ethical hackers to test their systems. The literature review explains that these programs are popular because they’re often more cost-effective than hiring large in-house security teams. In the findings, the authors point out that the success of a program really depends on offering good rewards and having clear guidelines. What stood out to me is that a lot of ethical hackers are motivated not just by money, but also by the challenge and recognition. Overall, it’s a smart way to use economic incentives to make cybersecurity stronger.
