Continuous Security with HackerOne Bug Bounty: Cyber Defense Done Right

In this panel session from the 2024 Cybersecurity Summit, you'll hear from experts from HackerOne, Google Cloud, Ping Identity, Automox, and HID about how to manage your attack surface, plan for the continuing influx of AI tools and technology, and protect your organization against ransomware, DDoS attacks, and more.

2024 and the Biggest Threats to your Business

Talent shortages, launch delays due to skillset and staffing gaps, and challenges in retaining seasoned pentesters. These all create serious barriers to running successful and consistently effective pentest programs. 

Inefficiencies in everything from coordinating schedules to monitoring coverage, tracking remediation, and maintaining a cadence of communications for high-risk issues can undermine productivity and reduce security effectiveness. 

Watch this on-demand demo (the first 10 mins) followed by a Q&A to see how the security industry’s leading Pentest as a Service (PTaaS) platform, combined with talented and thoroughly vetted pentesters, can create a responsive program filled with meaningful findings that deliver on its ROI promise.

Beyond Traditional Testing: Elevating Cybersecurity with HackerOne Pentests

Exploited vulnerabilities are the most common root cause of the most significant ransomware attacks in the financial services sector. At the same time, nearly half of security professionals say that testing too late in the development cycle remains a major source of frustration. So why are we still failing to catch vulnerabilities earlier? The structure and priorities of development and security teams remain at odds for most organizations. In fact, few “shift left” initiatives have successfully gone to plan. 

Developer productivity is still often measured on speed of deployment, at the expense of security. Failing to catch vulnerabilities before code is released overburdens small security teams, stalls code production, and increases the risk of costly data breaches that erode brand trust.

In this on-demand recording from the December 2023 Finance & Risk Cyber Security Summit, HackerOne's CTO, Alex Rice, will demonstrate how we can reframe our thinking, team structures, and culture to recognize that security is a process, not a destination. Security teams must adopt an advisory role for development that embraces how developers work and supports developer-first initiatives to drive secure outcomes.

Shift Left Is Dead: A Post-Mortem.

Recent Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) survey data from Jon Oltsik, Distinguished Analyst and Fellow, indicates that for 87% of respondents, ensuring secure and available applications is a top priority. 

Though the importance of app security is paramount, ESG also noted the following persistent roadblocks:
• Maintaining security consistency across data center and public clouds where cloud-native apps are deployed
• Use of multiple cybersecurity controls that increase costs
• And lack of visibility into public cloud infrastructure where apps are hosted.

Jon Oltsik showcases 9 advantages of continuous penetration testing to enhance your company’s app security, as well as 5 ways to improve pentesting itself, in this custom ESG webinar. 

Join the discussion to view Oltsik’s vendor-neutral analysis of the state of app security, glean ESG’s latest survey data, and overcome your own app security challenges.

-How to prove the value of preemptive security initiatives to your non-security stakeholders.

The Impact of Preemptive Security

Only 10% of IoT vendors disclose timelines for acknowledging and resolving reported threats—and a staggering 73% of consumer IoT companies are in breach of the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure (PSTI) Act, with no vulnerability disclosure policy (VDP) at all.

David Rogers, MBE, chair of the Fraud and Security Group at the GSMA, and Laurie Mercer, Director of Solutions Engineering at HackerOne, discuss the state of vulnerability disclosure in global consumer IoT, and strategies you can adopt to implement a transparent, productive, and compliant VDP at your organization.

Key Takeaways:
-Understanding VDP policy trends and projections and how they affect you
-Learn which companies pass the disclosure threshold test (and which ones fail)
-Get policy recommendations for incentivizing security researchers
-Discover how IoT leaders like Samsung, Apple, and Panasonic structure their VDPs

The Critical Need for Vulnerability Disclosure in the IoT Security Landscape

Achieving actual attack resistance is hard. Security teams are stretched thin, attack surfaces are expanding, and digital threats are increasingly difficult to detect. Automated security can find vulnerabilities in unknown assets. However, visibility alone doesn’t drive meaningful remediation. Findings from automation often lack context and force security teams to spend time combing through false positives to find the few critical vulnerabilities that require fixing. In this session, Chris Evans, CISO and Chief Hacking Officer, and Alex Rice, CTO, will discuss his security strategy for combining the power of automated scanning with the security expertise of ethical hackers to drive down risk and achieve Attack Resistance Management for HackerOne.

How Human Experts Give you a Security Advantage

For the past six years, HackerOne has been surveying ethical hackers to get their perspective on the cybersecurity landscape, the evolution of risk, and what motivates them to help. The 2022 Hacker-Powered Security Report shines a light on the risks organizations face from an ever-expanding attack surface—and the trends uncovered by the most diverse community of security experts in the world.

Watch our webinar on-demand, featuring ethical hacker Jonathan Bouman and HackerOne’s Chris Evans (CISO), and Alex Rice (CTO) as they break down the report's findings—plus go beyond the report with specifics (and answers to your questions!) about how hackers can help you understand and protect your full attack surface.

Key takeaways:
—What motivates hackers and how do they approach finding vulnerabilities and reporting them to organizations.
—How HackerOne Top Ten Vulnerability data is evolving—and what that means for your security priorities.
—Benchmarking data on median and average bounty prices in your industry to inform your own program.
—Insights into the risks hackers find in key industries—from software to financial services, retail, automotive, and pharmaceuticals.
