While this way is flawed, the mindset and social structure of hackers creates a cost effective, competitive market for these contract services and is good for companies to utilize. I think if the vetting process for hiring these contractors and repercussions for mishandling bugs and vulnerabilities is addressed, this could be a very sustainable market for hackers for quite some time given the shortage of in-house cybersecurity positions. The gap in bug bounties in the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) is something that requires attention and creates a roadblock for smaller companies who can\u2019t compete with large corporations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A later module addresses cybersecurity policy through a social science framework.
