LG Uplus announced that it has launched a global bug bounty program in collaboration with HackerOne, the world's largest bug bounty platform, starting on August 24.
A bug bounty program rewards white-hat hackers for discovering security vulnerabilities in a company's services and IT infrastructure. Major companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, as well as South Korean firms such as Samsung, Naver, Kakao, and Neowiz, have implemented similar programs.
HackerOne boasts over 2.4 million white-hat hackers participating globally. This program will operate privately, allowing only verified and skilled global white-hat hackers to participate after undergoing identity verification and capability assessment.
LG Uplus aims to continuously receive reports of security vulnerabilities from these hackers to quickly analyze and improve threat detection and vulnerabilities.
Through this collaboration, LG Uplus expects to establish a vulnerability management system that meets global standards and enhance its security response capabilities.
Hong Kwan-hee, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) of LG Uplus, stated, "As the areas where telecommunications services intersect with overseas infrastructure increase, our goal is to identify and address vulnerabilities that we may have overlooked. We will take the lead in creating a safe and transparent security ecosystem and promoting a culture of responsible vulnerability management."
