Now the question arises, why will organizations hire you or why you have to work with hackers?
Why don't you just have a security team and just tell them to take the vulnerability?
Organizations as diverse as Starbucks and BMB, GitHub, that is on media, LendingClub, PayPal, Google
and Intel and also Twitter are using bug bounty programs to reduce risk and protect customers and their
brands.
The customers, partners and even government agencies and industry groups now expect people to leverage
the wisdom and power of the vast hacker community.
It improves and skills security capabilities helps protect the assets and strengthen the company's brand.
And they demonstrate innovation.
Well, this line is very important, security flaws aren't shameful, the fact of software development.
Now, if you're doing OK, if you are telling a person to code, he's a human being, you can make mistakes.
And that is not shameful.
They are just a fact of software development process, no matter how many processes or security measures
we put into place.
It is impossible to prevent all the vulnerabilities.
But with a bug bounty program, we can extend the processes to handle these bugs safely and efficiently
by inviting hackers.
The best part is that pretty easy to get started to scale your efforts as long as your career path.
Why hacking and bug bounty is good for all of us.
Well, we know that we cannot prevent data breaches, reduce cybersecurity crimes, protect privacy
or restore trust in the society without pooling our defenses and asking for external help.
Cyber security has rightfully become a company wide responsibility that goes beyond just security and
I.T. teams.
Public facing security solution such as a bug bounty program could involve buy in from legal finance
and even the board of directors.
However, people outside security and it, such as legal finance and public relations, don't necessarily
know or have the importance of improving the skill security posture of a company.
Now, I would like to tell you some points that are really important, well, current security measures
cannot catch every vulnerability.
As I have discussed, bug bounty programs can catch business logic issues that a scanner will miss.
For example, if your internal security team or a company's internal security team is being told to
test a website for the past seven to eight months, they will get bored.
And probably after some time they will lose their focus and will miss critical vulnerabilities.
But instead, a bug bounty hacker can find those programs or vulnerabilities and then can report them.
Another important advantage of bug bounty program is that they offer ongoing testing, unlike point
in time testing.
Bug bounty programs enlist the help of experienced hackers to find one reliabilities before attackers
do.
And I would like to tell you that bug bounty programs.
Have become a best practice in the industry and are used by companies and governments around the world,
including U.S. Department of Defense, Hyatt Hotels, Goldman Sachs and a lot more companies.
About bounty program go with software development lifecycle is very important, first, it's training
and risk assessment.
Revelations of missing best practices and the subsequent gaps and security risks that are true, but
boundaries these to bounties present a leading indicator for the next training session, which means
that if a company has found out some exploits or vulnerabilities in the services through background
programs, they might need to train the staff in order to avoid them.
Then comes requirements.
Bug bounties, identify issues that were not found prior and provide valuable input to guide to the
development of the organization.
Birder's design.
Bug bounties reveal insecure coding practices and the unknown risks associated with a certain architecture,
design or code implementation.
This informs organization that the design and architectural approach needs to be modified.
This development bug bounties reveal critical vulnerabilities in the software.
This is the ultimate goal to make the unknown issues known and fix prioritized before criminals can
exploit them.
Fifties testing.
Now, dynamic testing, which is bug bounties, can be deployed in sandbox development environment as
well as live production, so dynamic results in faster and more effective feedback loops.
Instead of developing the software completely and then allowing bounty hunters to find the vulnerabilities,
an organization can simply allow the hackers to work on the project and find vulnerabilities while the
development is going on.
Second last deployment, going beyond testing bug bounties can have a significant impact on the process
improvement, as the always on feedback from hackers blends perfectly with rapid deployments.
And the last one is respond.
Yes, we have to respond the basis for a good bug bounty program, the Redzepi, that is vulnerability
disclosure policy will drive the conversations with hackers, improving the overall security posture
of organization.
Now, this is what introduction to the bug bounty, no matter how people choose to structure the bug
bounty program, it can be entirely dependent upon the hackers, whether they use their knowledge to
find the right vulnerability.
Now, throughout this course, we will be teaching you all the phases of ethical hacking, because when
you are a big bounty hunter, you are an ethical hacker also.
So make sure you do not skip the videos and have your eyes and ears wide open to gain an outstanding
knowledge and to make yourself comfortable with these bug bounty programs.
At the end of this action, we will be also telling you the available bug bounty programs and how to
choose and identify the right program for you.
But before that, you would like to urge you to leave a rating for a cause, because, as I said earlier,
your motivation is very valuable to us.
Please take out 30 seconds of your valuable time and just leave everything.
You just have to click the stars.
That's it.
You're done.
Thank you so much.
And let us begin with the bug bounty actual hacking series.
