According to the annual report on the state of ethical hacking...published by bug bounty platform, HackerOne, the organization can boast a base of 600,000 white hat hackers: a community twice as big as the previous year.
HackerOne, which connects companies to ethical hackers who will hunt down security flaws in exchange for money, said that
the money earned in bounties this year
was almost equal to the entire amount awarded in all prior years combined.
Some of the high-profile organizations included General Motors, Google, Goldman Sachs, Toyota, and IBM. These companies want to make sure the HackerOne's security researchers disclose the vulnerabilities in their products and services before malicious hackers do.
|
Since launching in 2012, companies have paid the platform's ethical hackers a grand total of $82 million in return for their successful detection of over 150,000 vulnerabilities.

Government Agencies Are Also Using White Hat Hackers
|
The US Department of Defense, in particular, runs programs in partnership with HackerOne, dubbed "Hack the Pentagon", "Hack the Army" and "Hack the Air Force". The European Commission has also teamed up with the ethical hacking platform and
has launched various bug bounty programs
as part of its Free and Open Source Software Auditing (FOSSA) project.
