Samsung has announced a new bug bounty program for its smartphones. The company is looking for developers to find vulnerabilities and bugs in their smartphones and Samsung will reward them when these bugs are found.
Samsung are looking to use developers and security researchers to find issues in their devices and software. The company is hoping that this will make their handsets more secure and in turn provide an improved experience for their customers.
“As a leading provider of mobile devices and experiences, Samsung recognizes the importance of protecting users’ data and information, and prioritizes security in the development of each of its products and services,” said Injong Rhee Executive Vice President and Head of R&D, Software and Services of the Mobile Communications Business at Samsung Electronics. “As part of our commitment to security, Samsung is proud to work in close partnership with the security research community to ensure that all of our products are monitored closely and continually for any potential vulnerabilities.”
