Advantages of Bug Bounty Program Over Traditional Penetration Testing

Web Applications Security becomes essential as more and more data gets stored in web applications. As such, testing of web applications determines that sensitive data stays confined and the users accomplish only those tasks that they are permitted to perform.

Most of the enterprise engage with third-party penetration testing service providers to complement their internal development team in discovering security vulnerabilities and meet various compliance requirements based on their security needs.

Often these penetration service providers have limited talent pool which they are heavily dependent upon. Each of these security researchers has the specific skill set for particular domain area.
