The rise of AI models has sparked predictions that bug bounty programs could become obsolete. But the data discussed here points in the opposite direction.
Security researchers are finding more sophisticated and impactful vulnerabilities with increasingly powerful tooling. The result is higher-value findings and payouts, with a reported 25% increase tied to impact rather than simply increased volume.
AI may be changing how vulnerabilities are found without eliminating the expertise needed to find the most important ones.
If better AI makes expert researchers more effective, what does that mean for the future of bug bounty programs?
