HackerOne vs. Indusface Web Application Scanning

It is one of the good platforms for security researchers to submit bugs and other vulnerabilities, it however, has some challenges, in terms of un-verified and duplicate submissions.

I like to know what digital assets I have, where I have them and what the status is at any given time. detecting state changes in real-time is a critical security challenge. Traditional EDR/XDR products are not suitable for the intended purpose due to signature-based methodologies' inability to detect or prevent malicious activity. I like the presentation of the product, it's very effective and engaging. Not having to respond to countless false positives is worth it's weight in gold.

• Filter for spammy bug reports
• Nice central interface
• Payment/reward system is nice

• A lot of duplicate bugs get reported, although it does offer automatic suggestion of previously reported bugs that may be duplicates, it is far from perfect.
• Anyone can report bugs, a lot of them are not verified before submission. This sometimes leads to a lot of time spent in verifying if the bug is really actionable.
• Each submission has to be treated with equal potential, a lot of time, some time gets invested in vulnerabilities that aren't as important as some others.

These were very close and we liked HackerOne better. For a time we did have both and we felt the need to consolidate the information into one platform and end of life our internal offering. Overall we've been fairly happy with HackerOne.

The report you send the format and detailing the report , easily identify the vulnerability of the website, executive report is also the proper formatted it very useful

• Bugs that can't be tracked internally are submitted by external researchers, which is an important factor for security vulnerabilities.
• Even if the bugs reported are duplicates, there still is provision to award reputation points, that keep the researchers engaged.
• It also requires a lot of verification and validation, as a lot of the submissions are unverified to begin with.
