"Putting this effort into the bug bounty helps us identify any sort of gaps that we might be missing, plug holes as fast as we can, and reward the researchers for all the efforts that they spend with us."
Being asked to embrace hackers may sound counterintuitive. However, in today's fast-paced world of healthcare security it's a strategy worth exploring. Brent Ufkes is a staff security engineer at Redox, joins for a conversation about bug bounty programs. He shares how these programs can become a game-changer for organizations like ours.

- Benefits Beyond Security Companies: There are a number of people that can benefit from bug bounty programs. Brent shares insights that it's not just for security companies; any organization that offers a solution can find value in welcoming ethical hackers.
- Healthcare's Unique Security Challenges: With considerations to compliance and patient safety, the conversation delves into why healthcare organizations, in particular, should consider bug bounty programs to safeguard against an evolving threat landscape.
