The Department of Defense Cyber Crime Center (DC3) announced that it processed its 50,000th vulnerability since introducing its crowd-sourced ethical hacking vulnerability disclosure program:
Unlike short-duration bug bounties, VDP’s crowd-sourced ethical hackers report vulnerabilities continuously as part of a defense-in-depth approach. Through its function as the focal point for receiving vulnerability reports, DC3 VDP continues to contribute significantly to DoD’s overall security.
Olivier Beg, Co-Founder and Chief Hacking Officer at Hadrian had this to say:
“The DoD reaching 50,000 processed vulnerabilities through its Vulnerability Disclosure Program is a major milestone! As a security researcher who has submitted to the VDP, I’ve seen firsthand the program’s dedication to continuous improvement. The expansion of scope and focus on automation make it an attractive option for researchers to contribute to national security.
I’m excited about the DoD VDP’s future. With continued emphasis on researcher recognition, transparency around remediation efforts, and greater accessibility for the security community, this program has the potential to become a true benchmark for cybersecurity collaboration.”
Bug bounty programs are great for surfacing all sorts of issues. This is an initiative that I applaud and I hope to see more of going forward.
