FireEye launches public bug bounty program
Cybersecurity company FireEye has introduced a public bug bounty program for its corporate infrastructure aimed at shoring up the security of its own offerings.
The company is inviting researchers to register for the program using the Bugcrowd platform. Until now, the company’s bug bounty activities have been privately run in partnership with Bugcrowd.
The bug bounty program will offer payments of $50 to $2500 per vulnerability discovered, with higher severity vulnerabilities attracting higher payments. The vulnerabilities will be assessed using the Bugcrowd Vulnerability Rating Taxonomy.
“While we’ve been heavily involved with responsible disclosure, including helping other companies set up and modify their own programs, we are taking the next step in this effort,” FireEye CSO Steven Booth said in a statement.
“To ensure we are continually improving our environment and security posture, and to recognize the valuable role the research community plays in bettering security across all industries, FireEye is introducing its public bug bounty program specific to our corporate infrastructure.”
Testing targets include the company’s corporate-facing websites, localised websites for various markets and DNS configuration issues.
Security researchers electing not to receive payment or wishing to report on the findings of their research should do so via the Bugcrowd-managed FireEye Responsible Disclosure program, Booth said.
