Abstract:Conventional security measures struggle to keep pace with the rapidly evolving threat of malware, which demands novel approaches for vulnerability discovery. Although Bug Bounty Programs (BBPs) are promising, they often underperform in attracting researchers, particularly in uncovering malware-related vulnerabilities. This study optimizes BBP structures to maximize engagement and target malware vulnerability discovery, ultimately strengthening cyber defense. Employing a mixed-methods approach, we compared publ… Show more
