Introduction to how startup enablers should embrace bug hunters for security needs

Bug Zero is the largest bug bounty platform in Sri Lanka. It is also a pioneering research institute. Based on our research and experience working with SMBs to large corporations, we want to discuss how startup ecosystem enablers can play a vital role in getting startups to adopt a solid security posture.

• Focus on the importance of building a local security ecosystem for startups and other local organizations in the long run.
• Discussion on how different stakeholders can contribute for a better secured ecosystem for local startups.
• Discuss on what are the opportunities that can be created via bug bounty platforms that can be helpful for different communities in society.
• From a policy standpoint, how we should promote better policy approaches that are favourable for security, bug hunting and the startup ecosystem.
• Discuss on how we define better inclusion at the intersection of startups and security and how we can work together to achieve it.
