Bug Bounties and Unicorns

In this episode, we speak with a security expert that is actually willing to pay money to "hackers" - the Product Security Director in Visma, Espen Johansen.

As you can imagine, eliminating software vulnerabilities in a company with 5,000 developers is no easy task. Mr. Johansen and his developers always aim to improve the security of their software, among other things through organising both private and public bug bounty programs. If you are interested in bug bounty programs, this interview is a great place to start! As he shares his advise for when and what it takes for an organisation to be ready for bug bounty.
