Unlike traditional cybersecurity models that rely solely on in\u2011house teams, bug bounty programs leverage the collective expertise of an engaged and diverse global community of security researchers. While this challenge is focused domestically, it follows the same proven framework used by major technology companies around the world. \ufffd<\/p>\n
