A HackerOne Case Study
Coinbase, the leading platform for buying and selling Bitcoin, needed to strengthen and scale its security program beyond audits and penetration tests without diverting engineers from core product work. The company wanted a continuous, efficient way to find and fix real vulnerabilities while minimizing time spent validating reports.
Coinbase launched a bug bounty using the HackerOne platform to access thousands of researchers and integrated Bishop Fox to triage, validate, and prioritize incoming reports. The combination increased the number of useful, valid findings, reduced validation overhead, sped remediation via tracker integrations, freed engineering time, and resulted in a steady cadence of rewarded researchers (about two per week), improving Coinbase’s ongoing security posture.
