How we used GitLab values to develop a successful Security Awards Program

GitLab has established a Security Awards Program to emphasize security as a collective responsibility, encouraging team and community involvement to enhance security measures while rapidly developing new features. Launched in 2020, the program rewards contributions to security through a points-based system, with prizes awarded quarterly and annually to those outside the Security team making significant contributions. The initiative aligns with GitLab's values like efficiency, iteration, collaboration, diversity, inclusion, and transparency, promoting a culture where security actions are recognized and celebrated. The program incorporates a simple workflow for nominating and awarding security-related actions, ensuring scalability and automation to minimize human error, and fosters inclusivity by encouraging diverse contributions from the global GitLab community. Additionally, it enhances security awareness and transparency by publicly displaying a leaderboard, while keeping the actions confidential, and is further supported by GitLab's bug bounty program on HackerOne for security vulnerability research.
