Crowdsourced security has strengthened our bug discovery and improved vulnerability response
HackerOne is already doing well, although I believe implementing stricter SLAs for the time to first response and time to bounty would help prevent researchers' burnout, especially regarding duplicate submissions. I suggest systematic bug rewards because currently, if a researcher finds one bug in multiple places, they often only get paid for one. Improving the handling of systemic vulnerabilities would encourage deeper research. Additionally, improving multi-currency and crypto payout options would help make the platform more accessible globally.

Effectively in identify and fix bugs early in the development lifecycle
When it comes to ShiftLeft, the most valuable feature is definitely its ease of use and cost-effectiveness. Previously, security professionals had to spend a lot of time and effort running around, asking people to fix issues in their products, architectures, code, and even networks. With ShiftLeft, everything becomes robust and secure from within. Instead of relying on external measures like Web Application Firewalls (WAF) that are applied from the outside in, ShiftLeft takes a proactive approach. It helps prevent issues from arising in the first place, making it much easier for both security teams and developers. It's also cost-effective because you don't have to constantly go back, make changes to the code, and then push it again. Writing secure code from the start ensures that there are no vulnerabilities when it goes live. So, I would say the main features of ShiftLeft are its cost-effectiveness and ease of adaptability or use.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Using HackerOne has definitely improved the security of my web application, identifying security gaps I didn't realize as a web developer."
"The most valuable feature of HackerOne is its variety of programs. These programs provide depth into various areas, such as mobile, API, and websites."
"HackerOne has been the right fit for our current situation from both a functionality and cost-effectiveness perspective."
"I notice a return on investment through the group of researchers at HackerOne identifying vulnerabilities, saving us money, time, and manpower, with the efficiency of HackerOne allowing them to accomplish in three to four hours what would take two red teamers a whole day."
"Apart from getting all the bug bounty opportunities, we also get the chance to practice in a safe environment, like a demo setup. These features are great for beginners who want to explore bug bounties in the future."
"HackerOne is larger than WebCloud and has a better reputation than BugCloud, which results in a smoother process."
"HackerOne is a very good platform with the trust of different companies including Shopify, PayPal, and Uber, which creates a stronger brand perception and competitive market positioning."
"The fast verification process impacts my motivation significantly because a quick response keeps me motivated, and if I'm going to try and hunt bugs today, I would appreciate a response within the day or at least within a few days."
"When it comes to ShiftLeft, the most valuable feature is definitely its ease of use and cost-effectiveness."
 

Cons

"Everything has become slower on HackerOne. I have noticed that older researchers receive all the private invites while newer ones receive fewer."
"HackerOne provides a "HackBot" which helps identify other relevant reports, including duplicates, public reports from other companies, etc. However, the functionality is limited and it would be nice to integrate it with broader services offered like auto responses, triggers, etc."
"Triage response time is a significant issue. The response time and triage speed are not fast enough, and this is causing many people to leave HackerOne."
"Response time can be improved. The HackerOne Trust team can be slow to respond sometimes. They're not using AI, which could help reduce the number of duplicate reports."
"The ability to view the conversation between the triagers and the programs will be really good."
"However, some things can be improved, such as better report deduplication by automatically identifying duplicate vulnerability reports more accurately."
"One issue I've experienced is traffic. Many people try to participate when an opportunity with a bounty of around 1,000-15,000 dollars comes up. In this case, the first person to report the vulnerability gets the bounty. If a second person reports the same vulnerability, they are marked as duplicated instead of receiving some recognition. The second person also invested time finding the issue, so I think this can be improved."
"However, I reduced my rating by one mark because a proper internal triage team should be in place, not as a replacement for internal security controls."
"Having support from senior management is crucial in making it mandatory for teams to collaborate with the security team throughout the development process."
