- Microsoft’s error reward is increasing its moderate failure reward
- Error rewards allow companies and researchers to create a safer digital environment
- Other companies such as Google also execute similar programs, so get hunting
Microsoft has announced that it is “improving security and encouraging innovation” when updating its co -pilot error reward program (AI) and increasing reward to identify even moderate vulnerabilities moderate at $ 5,000.
Software companies use software rewards in collaboration with security researchers to eliminate vulnerabilities that could otherwise be exploited by threat actors, and Microsoft even executes their own black hat event with up to $ 4 million in possible awards for Cloud and AI failures.
As part of the program update, the company also offers workshops, access to Microsoft engineers and ‘avant -garde research and development tools to increase its investment in the growth and education of AI researchers.
Microsoft’s objective with this program is to cultivate a “community of qualified professionals that can contribute to the advance of AI technology and maintain the highest safety and innovation standards.”
“Researchers who identify and report moderate gravity vulnerabilities will now be eligible for rewards of rewards of up to $ 5,000,” Microsoft confirmed in a statement.
“Expanding our rewards program to include co -pilot reflects our continuous commitment to Microsoft products and services, and we encourage researchers to help us identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.”
As cyber attacks become more prolific, software companies are interested in anticipating the dangers of encouraging researchers to separate their applications, especially relatively young products and platforms.
Since Google began its vulnerability rewards program 15 years ago in 2010, the search engine giant has paid more than $ 50 million in rewards, and more than 15,000 vulnerabilities have been discovered, in fact, in 2023, more were paid more of $ 10 million to researchers, with vulnerability. Beat the participant an amazing $ 113,337.
