Questions about VDP? Consult our security experts.

According to the CISA binding operational directive 20-01, federal agencies must implement a VDP. The directive has many federal agencies asking questions such as:

How do we set up a system for quickly triaging vulnerabilities that both satisfies compliance requirements and doesn’t overwhelm our team?
How do we manage inbound vulnerability reports and communicate with external researchers safely and efficiently?
How do we satisfy all CISA requirements before the deadline without compromising our holistic security posture?

Our security experts are here to consult you on the best course of action for your agency.

Hack the Pentagon

For 7-plus years, HackerOne has partnered with the U.S. Department of Defense to defend their assets, starting with Hack the Pentagon‘s vulnerability disclosure program. Kris Johnson, Director of the VDP at the DoD, says “researchers are telling us what’s wrong with our systems. We have a ton of success stories.” That success has encouraged the DoD to proactively embrace crowdsourced security, saving $64 million and achieving nearly 800% ROI.
