Frontline Tips for Managing a High-Performing Bug Bounty Program

Only 10% of IoT vendors disclose timelines for acknowledging and resolving reported threats—and a staggering 73% of consumer IoT companies are in breach of the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure (PSTI) Act, with no vulnerability disclosure policy (VDP) at all.

David Rogers, MBE, chair of the Fraud and Security Group at the GSMA, and Laurie Mercer, Director of Solutions Engineering at HackerOne, discuss the state of vulnerability disclosure in global consumer IoT, and strategies you can adopt to implement a transparent, productive, and compliant VDP at your organization.

Key Takeaways:
-Understanding VDP policy trends and projections and how they affect you
-Learn which companies pass the disclosure threshold test (and which ones fail)
-Get policy recommendations for incentivizing security researchers
-Discover how IoT leaders like Samsung, Apple, and Panasonic structure their VDPs

The Critical Need for Vulnerability Disclosure in the IoT Security Landscape

Achieving actual attack resistance is hard. Security teams are stretched thin, attack surfaces are expanding, and digital threats are increasingly difficult to detect. Automated security can find vulnerabilities in unknown assets. However, visibility alone doesn’t drive meaningful remediation. Findings from automation often lack context and force security teams to spend time combing through false positives to find the few critical vulnerabilities that require fixing. In this session, Chris Evans, CISO and Chief Hacking Officer, and Alex Rice, CTO, will discuss his security strategy for combining the power of automated scanning with the security expertise of ethical hackers to drive down risk and achieve Attack Resistance Management for HackerOne.

How Human Experts Give you a Security Advantage

For the past six years, HackerOne has been surveying ethical hackers to get their perspective on the cybersecurity landscape, the evolution of risk, and what motivates them to help. The 2022 Hacker-Powered Security Report shines a light on the risks organizations face from an ever-expanding attack surface—and the trends uncovered by the most diverse community of security experts in the world.

Watch our webinar on-demand, featuring ethical hacker Jonathan Bouman and HackerOne’s Chris Evans (CISO), and Alex Rice (CTO) as they break down the report's findings—plus go beyond the report with specifics (and answers to your questions!) about how hackers can help you understand and protect your full attack surface.

Key takeaways:
—What motivates hackers and how do they approach finding vulnerabilities and reporting them to organizations.
—How HackerOne Top Ten Vulnerability data is evolving—and what that means for your security priorities.
—Benchmarking data on median and average bounty prices in your industry to inform your own program.

Join this fireside chat with Howard Holton, CTO of GigaOm, to learn how Pentest as a Service (PTaaS) aligns to modern digital business cycles and fits into a broader strategy for building resistance to attacks by cybercriminals. 

GigaOm’s Radar Report states that “PTaaS represents the revolution in the pentesting space that was long overdue.” PTaaS builds on the efficacy of penetration testing methods and adds modern SaaS-like features, such as an interface that clients access to review centralized findings—vulnerabilities that have been exploited, potentially in real-time, direct communications with pen testers, standardized testing methods, and integrations with other technologies.
GigaOm provides technical, operational, and business advice for IT’s strategic digital enterprise and business initiatives. 
Key takeaways:
-Today’s business practices require modern approaches to application security that can keep pace with changing digital landscapes and evolving threats, which is especially important for penetration testing.
-PTaaS is an emerging solution that benefits security operations teams with a SaaS platform for more efficient program and engagement management.
-Certain PTaaS providers leverage crowdsourced communities of ethical hackers, including vetted and certified pentesters, for greater diversity and scale in the pentester pool.

How Pentest as a Service Fits Into a Modern Application Security Strategy

On July 4th, 2022, Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO), Directorate for Digital Services (DDS), DoD Cyber Crime Center (DC3), and HackerOne publicly launched the Hack U.S. bug bounty challenge, allowing ethical hackers from around the globe to earn monetary rewards for reporting of critical and high vulnerabilities from within the DoD Vulnerability Disclosure Program (VDP) published scope.
 
Watch this webinar to hear Corben Leo, a security researcher from the Hack U.S. program, discuss:

How Security Researchers Strengthen the DOD's Security

52% of security-conscious enterprises in a recent HackerOne survey don’t know how much of their attack surface is secured, and not one respondent was confident their organization was fully in control of its attack surface.

Any veteran security leader can confirm that organizations rarely know the full extent of their IT infrastructure, but the use of hybrid and multi-cloud environments, adoption of microservice architectures, and inherited assets from mergers and acquisitions make the shortfall more extensive than IT teams could have imagined in the past.

In this webinar, cybersecurity veterans Michiel Prins, co-founder and head of professional services at HackerOne, and Naz Bozdemir, senior product marketing manager at HackerOne, demystify how organizations can gain control over their full attack surface and minimize exploitable risks.

This discussion will cover:
-The consequences of an expanding attack surface and incomplete visibility into it
-The role of Attack Surface Management (ASM) in modern security programs
-Important considerations when selecting an ASM partner
-The impact of combining automation with human security expertise

Outsmart Cybercriminals with Proactive Attack Surface Management

What’s your definition of a zero day? Exactly what a zero day is, and how one should be tackled when it comes to bug bounty, has been a contentious issue for years. Drawing on his experience at Project Zero and as a longstanding member of the hacking community, Chris will explore the evolution of zero days, from Stuxnet to Log4j. He will explain why zero days are not usually rewarded in bug bounty programs and why Log4j was unique in this regard, drawing on hacker and customer data and stories from the incident. Chris will share his philosophy on a ‘pay for value’ approach to zero days and how progressive CISOs can work alongside the hacking community to reduce the risk from zero-days, in whichever definition applies.

Why Isn’t Anyone Paying Bounties for Zero Days?

HackerOne has enhanced data visualization and analysis capabilities. For many bug bounty programs, the functionality available through the dashboards is sufficient. Some programs however want to utilize their bug bounty program data as input to external tools such as custom workflows, report delivery, and Machine Learning. This talk demonstrates step-by-step how the robust HackerOne API can be utilized to securely access your program's data to power these and many other external applications.

All Your Data Belongs to You

Traditionally pentesting has been slow and shallow, making it difficult for modern security organizations to keep pace with innovation and compliance demands. This, coupled with the frequency of security incidents, is making enterprise security teams realize the increasing need for on-demand access to high-quality pentesting resources—and traditional consulting firms are unable to deliver due to limited FTE teams, slow launch times, delayed results, and manual reporting efforts. In this session we will cover the advantages the HackerOne platform provides to customers conducting pentests, including an easy and fast way to scope and launch a pentest, real-time results so that your teams can remediate issues faster, and transparency and direct communication with pentesters during testing. We’ll also provide insights into the future of the HackerOne platform.

Running Scaleable and Efficient Pentesting Programs with HackerOne

As the vulnerability landscape changes through application deployment, cloud migrations, product launches, mergers and acquisitions, and more, detecting security risks before they become threats is critical to effectively defending your attack surface.
