How Microsoft Fixed Its Bug Bounty Program
from Software Testing with Fexingo: QA, Automation, and Reliable Software Engineering Hosted by Fexingo
Lucas and Luna dig into why Microsoft rewrote its entire bug bounty rules in 2024, shifting from rigid scope lists to dynamic risk-based payouts. They break down how this change reduced false positives by thirty percent and increased high-severity submissions from independent researchers. The conversation explores the operational cost of managing thousands of daily reports and why treating security researchers like partners rather than vendors pays off. This episode offers a concrete look at one of the largest tech companies fixing a broken incentive structure in software quality assurance. #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #SoftwareTesting #BugBounty #Microsoft #Cybersecurity #QAEngineering #TechManagement #RiskAssessment #DeveloperExperience #SecurityResearch #IncentiveDesign #CodeQuality #TechPolicy #EngineeringCulture #VulnerabilityDisclosure #DevOps #EnterpriseTech Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
