Defense Completes First Year-Long Contractor Bug-Hunting Session
The Defense Department’s Cyber Crime Center has completed a one-year pilot involving invited defense contractors in a bug-hunting. The program was run by HackerOne, which has administered “Hack the Pentagon” and similar challenges. It involved 41 small- to medium-sized contractors and generated 1,015 reports, 401 of which were validated as security flaws to repair. The expanded program is intended to explore ways of better securing the 300,000 contractors that make up the defense industrial base.
