Bug Bounty with AI in Real-Time: The Future of Cybersecurity
In the fast-evolving world of cybersecurity, threats are constantly emerging. Traditional methods of finding vulnerabilities, while still effective, struggle to keep up with the speed and sophistication of modern attacks. Enter the powerful combination of bug bounty programs and real-time AI. Together, they offer a proactive approach to identifying and neutralizing vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. In this article, we’ll explore how AI, when integrated with bug bounty programs, is reshaping real-time cybersecurity defences.
What Is a Bug Bounty Program?
A bug bounty program is a strategy where companies invite ethical hackers (white-hat hackers) to find vulnerabilities in their software, networks, or systems. In return for discovering bugs, hackers are rewarded, often with monetary incentives. It’s a win-win for both parties: companies improve their security, and ethical hackers get compensated for their skills.
However, with increasing complexity in software systems and the rise of sophisticated cyberattacks, bug bounty programs need more than just human expertise. This is where AI in real-time becomes a game-changer.
