Summary

Okta, a leading provider of identity for the enterprise, is launching its first public bug bounty program after running an extensive private program with Bugcrowd, to augment its robust security team and strategy and further enhance product security. The company has prioritized customer success, which translates directly to customer security and assurance, and has shown strong commitment to security research through its private program. With the transition to a public program, Okta will now leverage the full extent and resources of Bugcrowd's curated crowd to focus internal resources on critical early stages of product design and development, enabling improved response time and increased transparency. The program aims to reward vulnerabilities up to $15,000 per discovery, with a disclosure policy requiring explicit permission for public disclosure.
