Singapore is offering payouts of up to $5,000 for white hackers to uncover security vulnerabilities in systems used by the public sector. The new scheme is the latest in the government’s efforts to involve the community in assessing its ICT infrastructure.
The Government Technology Agency (GovTech) said its new Vulnerability Rewards Programme was the third crowdsourced initiative it has adopted to enhance the security of its ICT systems. It also runs bug bounty and vulnerability disclosure programmes, the latter of which is available to the public to report potential security holes.
“The three crowdsourced vulnerability discovery programmes offer a blend of continuous reporting and seasonal in-depth testing capabilities that taps the larger community, in addition to routine penetration testing conducted by the government,” GovTech said in a statement Tuesday.
