- Microsoft’s Bug -Dusør increases his moderate error rewarding
- Bug Bounties allow businesses and researchers to create a more secure digital environment
- Other companies like Google also running similar programs, so get hunting
Microsoft has announced that it is ‘improving security and incentive in innovation’ by updating its Copilot (AI) Bug Bounty program and raising the reward for identifying even moderate severity vulnerability to $ 5,000.
Bug Bounties are used by software companies in collaboration with security researchers to eradicate vulnerabilities that could otherwise be exploited by threat players – and Microsoft even runs his own black hat as an event with up to $ 4 million in potential awards for Sky and AI errors.
As part of the update to the program, the company also offers workshops, access to Microsoft engineers and ‘advanced research and development tools’ to increase its investments for the growth and training of AI scientists.
Microsoft’s goal of this program is to cultivate a ‘society of skilled professionals who can contribute to the promotion of AI technology and maintain the highest standards of security and innovation.’
“Researchers who identify and report moderate vulnerabilities are now eligible for Bounty rewards up to $ 5,000,” Microsoft confirmed in a statement.
“Expansion of our Bounty program to include Copilot reflects our ongoing commitment to safety across Microsoft products and services, and we encourage researchers to help us identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.”
As cyberattacks become more productive, software companies are eager to get ahead of the dangers of incentive researchers to choose their applications, especially the relatively young AI products and platforms.
Since Google started its vulnerability rewarding program 15 years ago in 2010, the search engine giant has paid over $ 50 million in bounties, and over 15,000 vulnerabilities have been discovered – in fact, more than $ 10 million was paid to researchers, with a vulnerability, the participant earns a staggering $ 113,337 .
