A Bugcrowd Case Study
Intercom, the customer messaging platform, launched a public bug bounty program in early 2016 to strengthen its secure development lifecycle and protect customer data. With customer trust central to its business, Intercom sought a proactive way to stay on top of evolving cybersecurity challenges.
Building on a private program with Bugcrowd, Intercom opened its bounty to a larger pool of researchers, offering rewards up to $1,500 and covering its main application and iOS/Android SDKs. The program tapped hundreds of security researchers to find complex bugs that scanners miss, improving Intercom’s ability to find, fix, and prevent vulnerabilities.
