Making bug bounties work for your business

If you’re considering a bug bounty programme a good place to start is by setting up a vulnerability disclosure process. This will allow security researchers, or even the public, to contact you should they find a weakness in your systems. Evalian also recommend reading the National Cyber Security Centre’s advice on vulnerability disclosures as a start. Ultimately, bug bounty programmes can be a solid addition to your vulnerability management process, complemented by penetration testing and regular vulnerability scanning. You can contact Evalian on hello@evalian.co.uk if you want to discuss your options with them in more detail.
