HP Launches Industry’s First Print Security Bug Bounty Program
July 31 2018 - 6:00AM
Highlights:
HP Inc. (NYSE:HPQ) today announced the industry’s first print
security bug bounty program, underscoring its commitment to deliver
the world’s most secure printersi. HP selected Bugcrowd, a global
leader in crowdsourced offensive security, to manage vulnerability
reporting, further enhancing HP’s business printer portfolio. With
HP’s extensive history of device security innovation and driving
new industry security standards, this print-focused bug bounty
program is yet another way HP is leading the way when it comes to
providing the highest-level security for its customers and
partners.
“As we navigate an increasingly complex world of cyber threats,
it’s paramount that industry leaders leverage every resource
possible to deliver trusted, resilient security from the firmware
up,” said Shivaun Albright, HP's Chief Technologist of Print
Security. “HP is committed to engineering the most secure printers
in the world.”
HP is the first company to invest in a dedicated bug bounty
program for printing devices, offering customers protection from
attacks that are targeting both businesses and employees. According
to Bugcrowd’s recent report, the top emerging attackers are focused
on endpoint devices, and the total print vulnerabilities across the
industry have increased 21% during the past year.
“CISOs are rarely involved in printing purchase decisions yet
play a critical role in the overall health and security of their
organization,” said Justine Bone, CEO, MedSec and Security Advisory
Board member for HP. “For decades, HP has made cybersecurity a
priority rather than an afterthought by engineering business
printers with powerful layers of protection. And in doing so, HP is
helping to support the valuable role CISOs play in organizations of
every size.”
The Bug Bounty program includes:
- Vulnerabilities found by researchers in the private program are
required to be reported to Bugcrowd.
- Reporting a vulnerability previously discovered by HP will be
assessed, and a reward may be offered to researchers as a good
faith payment.
- Bugcrowd will verify bugs and reward researchers based on the
severity of the flaw and awards up to $10,000.
