Anyway, I came cross this article that mentions about this company called HackerOne that \u201c\u00a0that mediates between hackers and companies interested in testing their online vulnerabilities\u201d which managed to raise $36 million in Series D funding bringing total funding to $110 mil. The article talks briefly what the company does and how it helps their client \u201cto help find critical security weaknesses so they can address them before players with nefarious intentions find and exploit them.\u201d They have over 1500 customers currently (Google, AirBnB, Intel just to name a few).
