How Microsoft Fixed Its Bug Bounty Program

from Software Testing with Fexingo: QA, Automation, and Reliable Software Engineering Hosted by Fexingo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna dissect how Microsoft transformed its security posture by overhauling the Microsoft Bug Bounty program. They explore the specific mechanics of responsible disclosure, the financial incentives that drive ethical hackers, and why transparent bug tracking matters more than raw numbers. With insights into how a tech giant handles vulnerability reports from thousands of contributors, this conversation offers a practical look at modern software security engineering. Listeners will learn how to structure their own disclosure policies and understand the economics of finding bugs before malicious actors do. #SoftwareTesting #CyberSecurity #BugBounty #Microsoft #ResponsibleDisclosure #EthicalHacking #QAEngineering #VulnerabilityManagement #TechIndustry #SoftwareEngineering #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechLeadership #RiskManagement #DeveloperExperience #SecurityOps #DigitalTrust #EnterpriseSoftware Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
