Security researchers are being offered a sales
portal to maximise the bounties they receive for discovering
software vulnerabilities.
WSLabi, a Swiss independent security research lab, has launched
the international security research exchange.
The exchange is designed to create an environment where
researchers, security suppliers and software companies can interact
in an open market. It is designed to enable researchers “to obtain
the correct value for their findings”, said WSLabi.
Herman Zampariolo, CEO at WSLabi, said, “We decided to set up
this portal for selling security research because although there
are many researchers out there who discover vulnerabilities, very
few of them are able or willing to report them to the right people,
due to the fear of being exploited.”
