A Vulnerability Reward Program (VRP) is an initiative by organizations to encourage security researchers and ethical hackers to identify and report vulnerabilities in their systems. By offering rewards, such as cash or recognition, companies aim to improve their security posture and protect user data from potential threats. These programs typically outline specific guidelines for reporting vulnerabilities, including the types of issues that qualify for rewards and the process for submission. Many tech companies, including Google, Microsoft, and Facebook, have established VRPs to foster collaboration with the cybersecurity community and enhance their overall security measures.
