AMD has partnered with Intigriti, a crowdsourced security service provider, to launch a new bug bounty program. This program allows security researchers, ethical hackers, and other experts in the general public to submit bugs in AMD’s hardware, firmware, or software, via the Intigriti platform and get a monetary reward for their efforts.
AMD has previously had a private bug bounty initiative, but only a select few were invited to participate. With the expansion of this program to the public, researchers from different backgrounds may be incentivized to find issues with AMD’s products. This should widen the scope of testers and even include experts from fields that AMD hadn’t thought to include in its private testing.
