PagerDuty, Peloton, and Vodafone Launched Public Programs in the Quarter Ending in October

SAN FRANCISCO, November 19 — HackerOne, the cybersecurity company dedicated to eliminating vulnerabilities through continuous testing, announced 150 organizations launched programs on the HackerOne Platform in the quarter ended October, including Peloton, Vodafone, PagerDuty, and Playtika. During this same period, security researchers earned nearly $22 million on the platform, setting a new record for rewards paid. Both milestones were driven by AI innovation and platform automation.

"As demonstrated by last quarter's program launches and record rewards, companies recognize that a true defense-in-depth strategy includes programs that invite third-party researchers to report findings. By combining AI efficiency with human ingenuity, this continuous security testing uncovers vulnerabilities that traditional scanners miss," said Kara Sprague, CEO of HackerOne. "With its AI-powered capabilities and the world's largest security researcher community, the HackerOne Platform is unmatched in helping customers identify, manage, and eliminate vulnerabilities."

Offerings available through the HackerOne Platform include bug bounty programs, vulnerability disclosure programs (VDPs), pentest as a service, and AI red teaming. Employed as part of a defense-in-depth strategy, these offerings enable continuous security testing in software development through to production deployment. In this last quarter, HackerOne delivered several enhancements to its offerings:

  • New AI / ML-powered platform capabilities improved program experience. HackerOne added Automations to reduce manual program work for security teams and launched Benchmarks so customers can compare their program performance to vulnerability data across the HackerOne Platform. HackerOne also continued to add capabilities to its AI co-pilot Hai, so customers gain the right context to make data-driven and strategic decisions. 
  • Free offerings expanded access to vulnerability disclosure best practices. The company launched a free tier of its VDP product, Essential VDP, to simplify security compliance and enable organizations of any means to adopt disclosure best practices. 
  • In-person hacking events boosted security researcher engagement. HackerOne’s flagship live hacking events united top researchers to hack targets for customers, including TikTok and Epic Games.
  • Global partnerships extended HackerOne’s reach into new geographies. HackerOne announced partnerships with Evanssion in the Middle East and PrivTech in Japan.
