A bug bounty is a program run by companies or organizations that rewards independent security researchers and ethical hackers for finding and responsibly reporting vulnerabilities in their software or systems. Platforms like HackerOne and Bugcrowd facilitate these programs, allowing companies to crowdsource security testing and pay out rewards based on the severity of discovered bugs.
