Summary

In July 2017, Atlassian launched its Bug Bounty Program, which has since rewarded nearly 400 vulnerabilities and over $400,000 in total, earning it "Program of the Year" at the 2018 and 2019 Annual Buggy Awards. The program's success can be attributed to responsible security researchers who have made the internet a safer place through their participation. To address concerns about researchers facing legal action for acting in good faith, Atlassian has adopted a safe harbor clause in its program rules, ensuring that participants will not face repercussions as long as they follow all other rules and act with integrity.
