What is bug bounty program?

A bug bounty program is a type of crowdsourcing initiative where organizations offer rewards to ethical hackers or security researchers who identify and report security vulnerabilities, bugs or flaws in their software, platform, or digital infrastructure. The aim is to leverage the power of the crowd to identify potential security issues before cybercriminals can exploit them. In return, participants are rewarded with cash, gifts, or other incentives. Bug bounty programs are becoming increasingly popular among businesses and organizations as a proactive approach to cybersecurity. They help organizations to find and fix vulnerabilities and strengthen their security posture while providing rewards to the researchers who find those vulnerabilities.
