Bug bounty programs have transformed computer security work. At their core, these programs organize and manage a market for digital piecework, paying security researchers that identify and report novel bugs. Bounties are frequently promoted as a way to improve the security of our digital world.
Yet, as this talk identifies, in some instances these programs can perpetuate insecurity. In this AI Cyber Lunch, Ryan Ellis, Associate Professor of Communication Studies at Northeastern University, will examine the associated risks of such programs using a detailed analysis of the case of Uber’s bug bounty program.
Q&A to follow. Buffet-style lunch to be provided.
