Together, you helped organizations innovate with confidence, navigate a fast-changing AI landscape, and make the internet safer for everyone. Your creativity, collaboration, and resilience continue to inspire us. ✨ In 2025, we saw breakthroughs in security for AI, new partnership milestones, and thousands of vulnerabilities responsibly reported and resolved. None of it happens without this community showing up every day to protect what matters. Wishing you a safe, joyful, and restful holiday season, and an innovative, resilient year ahead. Here’s to what we’ll build and secure together in 2026. 🔐 💙 #HappyHolidays #Cybersecurity #ThankYou #TogetherWeHitHarder #CTEM

Security at scale takes ambition. 💪 We’re excited to see Vercel raise the bar with a $1M challenge to uncover real-world vulnerabilities in modern web frameworks. Initiatives like this show what’s possible when leading companies invite the security researcher community to test what matters most, before attackers do.

A powerful message from Salesforce: groundbreaking security comes from pairing world-class engineering with the ingenuity of security researchers. Their curiosity, creativity, and diversity help harden defenses against complex threats, strengthening security through genuine collaboration. See how Salesforce partners with researchers to raise the bar. Watch the video 👇 #H16102

Bug bounty isn’t a “nice to have” for leading organizations anymore. It’s foundational. This perspective from Alexander Hagenah at SIX says it best: periodic testing can’t keep up with continuous attackers. Security researchers think creatively, chain observations, and surface real-world exploitation paths—every day. A strong example of Continuous Threat Exposure Management in action from a security leader protecting critical financial infrastructure. #CTEM #crowdsourcedsecurity #bugbounty 

Bug bounties are one of the most effective ways to enhance your security strategy, but diving in without a roadmap can feel overwhelming. That’s exactly why we created The Beginner's Guide to Bug Bounty Program, your step-by-step playbook for building, launching, and scaling your first program with confidence. 📘 Inside you’ll find: ✨ Clear explanations of how bug bounty programs work 🔎 Best practices for setting scope, rewards, and trust 📈 Practical tips to measure success and iterate fast Whether you’re exploring your first program or planning to refine your approach, this guide was built with new bug bounty users in mind. 👉 Download it now and start turning security curiosity into meaningful impact: https://bit.ly/3KSUuQd #BugBounty #Cybersecurity #SecurityLeadership

The SEC’s dismissal of its case against SolarWinds and its CISO isn’t the end of cybersecurity enforcement — it’s a recalibration. In my new op-ed for SC Media, I unpack what this moment likely means for CISOs: 👉 The SEC is narrowing how it applies its authority, not walking away from cyber oversight. 👉 The real focus is on disclosures and material statements to investors — not grading the maturity of every internal security control. 👉 CISOs are more central than ever to aligning what companies say about cybersecurity with what they actually do. For security leaders, that means doubling down on accurate, well-documented disclosures, strong governance, and proactive collaboration across legal, risk, and technical teams. It’s also an opportunity for companies to differentiate themselves through robust transparent, mature cyber practices. 🔗 Full article: https://lnkd.in/eQ8Ks7xz I'd love to hear how other CISOs and security leaders are thinking about this shift.

🚨 Stanford has just validated what we’re seeing across our customer base: Agentic AI is transforming offensive security, but real defense requires both AI and Human Expertise. A new independent study from Stanford University, Carnegie Mellon University, and Gray Swan AI provides the first real benchmark of how agentic AI performs against professional pentesters in a live enterprise environment. The findings align with what we hear from HackerOne customers every day: 👉 AI can now deliver offensive testing with coverage and consistency at levels that were not possible before. 👉 AI alone cannot match the creativity, context, and decision-making of human security experts. This is not AI vs. humans. It is AI + humans and the data proves it. To understand why the future of offensive security depends on a hybrid model, read our full perspective here: https://bit.ly/4pTrHKs #AI #Cybersecurity #OffensiveSecurity #AgenticAI #CTEM

The UK Government’s newly proposed Cyber Security Resilience Bill signals a shift toward continuous, outcomes-based security. Organizations won’t just be expected to comply, they’ll be expected to prove resilience. Our latest blog breaks down what this means for enterprise security leaders: ✔ New expectations around vulnerability reporting ✔ How continuous testing supports national resilience goals ✔ Why collaboration with security researchers is becoming essential Read the full analysis: https://bit.ly/4j1xOdd #CyberSecurity #Policy #ContinuousSecurity #TogetherWeHitHarder

Government agencies are facing escalating threats, and the gaps are widening. The new Government Edition of the Hacker-Powered Security Report reveals the vulnerabilities attackers target most, the controls that fail silently, and how researcher collaboration is helping agencies catch issues earlier. This is a must-read for public-sector leaders navigating an increasingly complex risk landscape.
