Given the information in “Hacking for good: Leveraging HackerOne data to develop an economic model of Bug Bounties,” bug bounties are a great way to encourage ethical hacking and aid in companies bettering their cybersecurity standards. While protected by vulnerability disclosure policies preventing lawsuits, hackers can expect payouts from finding vulnerabilities by getting the bounty reward from finding bugs in the systems used by organizations. This also has the effect of ensuring that breaches get properly disclosed and not used maliciously as Alex Stamos’ theory states that hackers are far more likely to disclose this information if they have something to gain from the companies. Being able to gain financially through white hat hacking ensures more vulnerabilities are reported which ensures a healthy digital economy by protecting information and money.
