The author is concerned about the increasing number of data breaches in various organizations, including government networks and private sector companies. They believe that proactive measures should be taken to protect against malicious attacks, such as running vulnerability disclosure programs and bug bounties with the help of skilled hackers and researchers. The IT Modernization Plan aims to overhaul legacy systems and improve security through modern technology and DevOps processes, which includes leveraging bug bounties to identify vulnerabilities before they are exploited by enemy nation states or hackers. The author hopes that more government agencies will adopt similar programs and partner with companies like Bugcrowd to support them, in order to spread private sector knowledge at scale.
