Case Study: Coinbase strengthens platform security and streamlines bug-bounty triage with Bishop Fox

Coinbase - Customer Case Study

Coinbase, the leading digital currency platform, needed a scalable way to surface and manage security vulnerabilities without diverting its internal security team from core work. To run an effective bug bounty program they adopted the HackerOne platform for researcher coordination and payments and engaged Bishop Fox for Bug Bounty Program Management to help operate and validate the inbound report queue.

Bishop Fox provided expert triage, assessment, and prioritization of incoming reports, filtering out false positives and passing high-value findings to Coinbase, while HackerOne connected Coinbase to over 2,000 researchers and integrated with issue trackers like JIRA. The combination of Bishop Fox’s curated submissions and HackerOne’s workflow increased the signal-to-noise ratio, reduced Coinbase’s time spent on validation and remediation, and freed engineers to focus on the product.
