Secure your assets with precision testing

HackerOne Challenge is a time-bound, invite-only offensive testing program designed to uncover the most elusive vulnerabilities. This solution combines the expertise of world-class ethical hackers with targeted testing sprints, which is ideal for validating releases or assessing specific application areas.

Key Benefits

Deploy quickly for immediate needs

Launch targeted testing without long-term commitments to address urgent security challenges effectively.

Find exploitable vulnerabilities

Identify real-world vulnerabilities on sensitive assets through the unique insights of skilled security researchers.

Enable DevSecOps workflows

Generate comprehensive vulnerability reports to ensure engineers and developers have everything they need to fix critical vulnerabilities quickly.

How It Works

Scoping and setup

Begin by defining the engagement's scope, including assets, duration, and specific objectives- with the assistance of a HackerOne technical engagement manager.

• Target specific assets like web applications, APIs, or newly released features to meet critical security objectives.
• Set engagement parameters, including duration (15-, 30-, or 60-day challenges), and invite researchers with the required expertise.
• Begin testing in as little as two weeks with streamlined processes.

Customized offensive testing

Engage a curated group of security researchers to conduct time-bound, offensive testing to uncover exploitable vulnerabilities.

• Invite ID-verified and background-checked security researchers based on your specific requirements.
• Use offensive testing strategies to uncover vulnerabilities not detectable by automation or other testing methods.
• Focus on high-value initiatives like validating new security controls or identifying critical flaws in production systems.

Collaboration and insights

Gain actionable insights throughout the engagement via the HackerOne Platform.

• Track vulnerabilities as they're discovered and start remediation immediately.
• Integrate findings with your DevSecOps workflows using tools like Jira and GitHub for streamlined collaboration.
• Engage directly with researchers and your internal team to resolve critical issues efficiently.

Reporting and remediation

Receive a detailed report at the end of the challenge, including all findings, risk assessments, and remediation recommendations.

• All vulnerability findings are reported within the HackerOne Platform, as well as in a consumable PDF for compliance needs.
• Feed vulnerability data into your existing bug-tracking tools, including JIRA and GitHub.
• Go even deeper with a Spot Check focusing precisely on areas of concern, whether it's a particular feature, endpoint, vulnerability, or asset.
