HP launches bug bounty program to enhance printer security
By Kavita Iyer – HP became the first printer manufacturer company to launch a bug bounty program that wants hackers to break into its printers. According to HP, it’s a “first of its kind” bug bounty program for printers, with rewards of up to $10,000 for vulnerabilities discovered.
“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 Chief Technologist of Print Security on Tuesday. “HP is committed to engineering the most secure printers in the world.”
