5 Tips for Boosting Long-Term Engagement in your Bug Bounty Program
❓ How can bug bounty programs …
1️⃣ Keep hackers engaged in the long term?
2️⃣ Effectively increase the amount of good quality reports that you receive?
3️⃣ Stand out from competition and be the program that hackers choose to hack on?
️In this video, I covered 5 tips that can allow any bug bounty programs to stand out from the rest. If you implement them, you can expect an increased participation from skilled and good hackers (or security researchers) and a consistent stream of valuable vulnerability submissions! Most importantly, are you ready to handle the resulting high quality reports?
Hackers, if these tips hit the mark, please share them with your favourite bug bounty programs! Your input could lead to improvements like loyalty programs and direct report submissions (skip platform analysts or triage teams). Let’s level up the bug bounty landscape together!
