Bounty Program
A Bounty Program is an initiative where organizations offer rewards to individuals for identifying and reporting specific issues, such as software bugs or security vulnerabilities. These programs encourage community participation and help improve the overall quality and security of products or services. Participants, often referred to as "bounty hunters," can earn monetary rewards or other incentives for their contributions.
Many tech companies, including Google and Facebook, have established bounty programs to enhance their cybersecurity efforts. By leveraging the skills of external researchers and enthusiasts, these organizations can quickly address potential threats and improve their systems, benefiting both the company and its users.
