Microsoft Adds Project Spartan, Azure to Bug Bounty Program
Microsoft has vastly expanded its bug bounty program, giving security researches a chance to pocket some extra money.
The software giant has added its upcoming Project Spartan browser and the Azure cloud platform to the bounty program.
Security researchers who find bugs in the browser or cloud platform can earn a nice little cheque: anywhere from $150 to as much as $15,000.
“Microsoft will pay up to $15,000 USD for critical and important vulnerabilities that affect Project Spartan (latest browser in Windows Technical Preview),” the company said in a post.
“The program is intended to incent security researchers to report vulnerabilities to Microsoft during the Technical Preview period rather than after general use product to minimize customer impact.”
Researchers have until June 22 to find flaws in Microsoft’s impending Spartan browser.
The timeframe on finding failings in Azure, however, is ongoing.
“The Online Services Bug Bounty program gives individuals across the globe the opportunity to submit vulnerability reports on eligible Online Services (O365 and Microsoft Azure) provided by Microsoft,” Microsoft said. “Being ahead of the game by identifying the exploit techniques in our widely used services helps make our customer’s environment more secure.”
