Responsible disclosure is a framework enabling ethical hackers to identify and report security vulnerabilities without fear of legal repercussions, often in exchange for recognition or monetary rewards through bug bounty programs. Companies such as Google and PayPal have pioneered these initiatives, which are designed to encourage the reporting of vulnerabilities by providing a structured process that includes scope definition, reporting guidelines, and communication channels. Bug bounty programs incentivize ethical hackers with compensation based on the severity of the vulnerabilities they find, aligning company security needs with the expertise of the hacker community. Despite potential risks, such as the disclosure of vulnerabilities before they are fixed or miscommunication about what constitutes a reportable issue, the growing trend among both private companies and government agencies demonstrates the value of collaboration with ethical hackers. Detectify exemplifies this approach through its web security scanner and global Detectify Crowdsource network, which leverage the skills of over 100 ethical hackers to enhance its security offerings.
