This type of program is a great entry point for anyone looking to start their first bug bounty program or introduce testing on a new asset - it offers significant breadth and depth of coverage without overwhelming your security and development teams.

Private programs are limited to vetted and trusted researchers, giving companies the power to control what is tested and how it’s tested. In fact, the majority of programs run on Bugcrowd are private - nearly 80%. Private bug bounty programs offer organizations like HP the opportunity to utilize the power of the crowd - volume of testers, diversity of skill and perspective and competitive environment - in a more controlled and stringent environment. Given the difficulty of finding these obscure vulnerabilities the bug bounty program is key. With Bugcrowd’s private bug bounty program, HP incentivizes an elite, trusted Crowd of security researchers to find critical issues or vulnerabilities in its products. When it came time to selecting a crowdsourced security partner, the company chose Bugcrowd. HP has always been committed to partnering with key security leaders in the industry.

With best-in-class defensive strategies in place HP wanted to take their security strategy one step further with a bug bounty program. HP has also provided behavioral anomaly detection in all Enterprise devices. To achieve a high level of security, HP has built security into every product and device from the beginning - setting up mechanisms to detect potential malware attacks, adding protections for data at rest and in transit, as well as protecting documents as they flow through the print subsystem and the device.įrom risk and threat analysis, static code analysis and vulnerability scanning and penetration testing, HP performs comprehensive security testing on every product before it goes out. This is why security is a core pillar of HP’s product strategy.

Printers, arguably the most common IoT devices on the market, touch and store some of the most sensitive data and yet these devices are often left out of the organization’s security policy. Internet of Things (IoT) security has gained a lot of visibility over the last couple of years.
