Bug bounties have gained significant traction in recent years, but many misconceptions and misunderstandings persist. Contrary to popular belief, bug bounties do not only yield low-value results; instead, they can discover high-impact vulnerabilities that are often overlooked by traditional security assessment methods such as penetration testing and vulnerability scanners. The diversity of researcher demographics and motivations in bug bounty programs leads to a broader range of vulnerabilities being discovered than these traditional methods. Furthermore, bug bounties have been found to produce both a wide breadth and incredibly high-value vulnerabilities, making them an effective way to fill the gap left by automation in security assessment. By working with a diverse crowd of talented individuals, companies can achieve unprecedented results in their private and public bug bounty programs.
