# What is a Bug Bounty program?

A bug bounty is a monetary reward a company provides to someone who reports a “bug” or software vulnerability through a crowdsourced security platform. Rewards can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars depending on the impact and severity of the vulnerability. Bugcrowd pays researchers 100% of the bounties earned to ensure proper incentives within the ecosystem.

Bugcrowd closely manages every engagement with the help of our Crowdcontrol platform from which we can provide rapid triage and validation, expert remediation advice, and other features and benefits to help organizations find and resolve more high value vulnerabilities, faster.
