Comment:  A Interesting twist to help businesses encourage the security community to report vulnerabilities.
==================================================================================================

A clear and easy to read policy is key to developing a good internal bug bounty program, according to BugCrowd which has published guidelines to help businesses encourage the security community to report vulnerabilities.
Bug bounties are an increasingly popular means to provide a legally safe avenue for security researchers to report bugs they find in hardware, software and services. Such programs help to overcome a prevailing fear that reporting flaws could prompt affected vendors to return the favour with legal action as result of unauthorised hacking.
 BugCrowd suggests cash - not tee shirts - are the best way to encourage researchers to more regular and intense testing of products and services.
