Summary

In recent years, cybersecurity risks have increased due to advancements in technology such as cloud computing and open source software (OSS). To address these challenges, companies like Microsoft and Google have adopted bug bounty programs that leverage crowdsourced security. These programs offer financial rewards for finding vulnerabilities in their systems, encouraging a proactive approach to cybersecurity. As more organizations adopt cloud infrastructure and OSS, the need for effective security measures becomes even more crucial.
