Predictions on the future of bug bounty

Here are some thoughts on what’s next in the world of bug bounties and their near future:

• Increased adoption by enterprises: As more enterprises recognize the benefits of bug bounty programs in proactively identifying vulnerabilities, more adoption is expected in more traditional sectors, such as financial services, healthcare, and manufacturing.
• Specialization and segmentation: With the increasing complexity of IT systems and the diversification of threats, we are likely to see more pronounced specialization among ethical hackers and more refined segmentation of bug bounty programs according to the skills required and types of vulnerabilities sought.
• Integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation: AI and automation will play an increasing role in the initial identification and classification of potential vulnerabilities, allowing human researchers to focus on more complex and higher-value problems.
• Expansion...
