Traditional security metrics are very useful for their informative value. They inform our uncertainty towards a risk, but do not represent the probabilistic nature of risk, and often do not express the massive uncertainties we can have about a specific scenario.
HackerOne is the #1 hacker-powered security platform, helping organizations find and fix critical vulnerabilities before they can be criminally exploited. As the contemporary alternative to traditional penetration testing, our bug bounty program solutions encompass vulnerability assessment, crowdsourced testing and responsible disclosure management.
