HackerOne's vision for a secure & collaborative future
By seamlessly integrating human intelligence at scale with the transformative power of artificial intelligence, we can unlock unprecedented capabilities and enhance security program efficiency.
Embracing progress, mitigating risks
As we embrace the transformative potential of AI, we also acknowledge its vulnerabilities. Our approach balances optimism for AI's benefits with stringent defenses against its risks.
Preventing AI’s worst-case scenarios
For technology & security leaders integrating AI
Ethical AI deployment and protection against malicious use of AI are crucial as businesses adopt this fast-developing technology. Unsafe AI can lead to chatbots generating harmful content. And malicious use of AI can result in deceptive tools such as deepfakes and automated CAPTCHA solvers. HackerOne helps organizations implement strict measures to avoid safety threats, misinformation, privacy infringements, and loss of user trust.
- AI Red Teaming services probe AI systems for vulnerabilities, testing them for safety and security to ensure resiliency against worst-case scenarios.
- AI implementation security finds risks by incorporating AI into your applications, including impactful bugs related to authorization and user input.
For AI companies looking to secure their technology
- AI companies partner with HackerOne to fortify their technologies against emerging threats. This involves scrutinizing AI code for vulnerabilities and ensuring robust defenses against social engineering and AI-specific threats.
- Companies developing proprietary AI models employ HackerOne’s vast community of ethical hackers to safeguard against model theft, particularly through compromised MLOps tooling or infrastructure.
“There are now suddenly a whole host of attack vectors for AI-powered applications that weren’t possible before. One of the reasons for AI security issues is that these applications are new and developing really fast; they don’t necessarily take security very seriously. I’ve spent a lot of time this year looking for those security issues and reporting them to the development teams."
- Joseph Thacker
“What AI does remarkably well is use existing information and content to deliver something creative. Something I’m worried about is data that currently doesn’t seem valuable or exploitable gains far more value when combined with AI."
-Herman Satkauskas
“I use ChatGPT to help me hack technologies I’m less confident on. I can hack web applications but not break new coding languages, which was the challenge at one Live Hacking Event. It took a few prompts to ensure it wasn’t hallucinating, and it did provide a few low-level bugs. Because I was in a room with 50 ethical hackers, I was able to share my findings with a wider team, and we escalated two of those bugs into critical vulnerabilities. I couldn't have done it without ChatGPT, but I couldn’t have made the impact I did without the hacking community.”
-Jonathan Bouman
Securing AI with the world’s largest ethical hacker community
HackerOne’s skilled, global hacking community is helping organizations stay ahead of fast-developing threats:
- Secure the use of GenAI and LLMs with community-driven AI Red Teaming.
- Conduct continuous offensive testing through Bug Bounty.
- Perform targeted hacker-based testing with a time-bound Challenge.
- Assess an entire application with a Pentest or Code Security Audit.
AI Red Teaming Playbook
Our AI Red Teams have demonstrated remarkable efficiency, with one team identifying 26 valid findings within the initial 24 hours and 100+ valid findings in just 2 weeks.
This is the community
In the HackerOne community, over 750 active hackers already specialize in prompt hacking and other AI security and safety testing. And that number is set to skyrocket. In our latest survey of our community:
- 55% of hackers say that GenAI tools themselves will become a major target for them in the coming years.
- 61% say they plan to use and develop hacking tools using GenAI to find more vulnerabilities.
