Case Study: European Financial Institution strengthens security and agility with YesWeHack Bug Bounty

European Financial Institution - Customer Case Study

European Financial Institution was looking for a more effective way to secure its rapidly evolving web applications. After years of pentesting, the security team felt traditional tests were too infrequent, too costly, and often delivered little value, especially for applications updated monthly. The institution turned to YesWeHack’s private bug bounty program to get closer to real-world attack conditions and support its agile development pace.

With YesWeHack, the customer launched a managed bug bounty program on a mature, well-known scope and quickly uncovered critical vulnerabilities missed by previous pentests. The program delivered continuous monitoring, stronger collaboration between security, developers, and hunters, and better alignment with DevSecOps. According to the customer, YesWeHack helped produce twice as many vulnerability reports as pentesting at about 50% lower cost, while significantly improving overall security.
