‘Hack the Marine Corps’ Bug Bounty Program Announced by DoD

by David Bisson on August 14, 2018

Working with the ethical hacker community provides us with a large return on investment to identify and mitigate current critical vulnerabilities, reduce attack surfaces, and minimize future vulnerabilities.
