A multinational company has recently launched a cloud service platform and is considering introducing a bug bounty program to enhance its security measures. What is the most important reason for the company to integrate a bug bounty program into its vulnerability management process?
To uncover otherwise undetected vulnerabilities by leveraging the collective efforts of the global security research community.
To promote the company's dedication to transparency and foster trust among its user base.
To focus specifically on mitigating zero-day exploits by having them reported through the program.
To ensure the company's compliance with international cybersecurity regulations and standards.
Bug bounty programs invite external security researchers to test systems for rewards. This crowdsourced approach greatly expands the range of skills, tools, and perspectives applied to security testing, which helps uncover vulnerabilities that may slip past automated scanners, internal assessments, and periodic penetration tests. Increased transparency or compliance benefits can flow from a program, and zero-day exploits might be caught as a result, but those are secondary effects-not the fundamental purpose of adding the program to vulnerability identification.
