Microsoft has joined the bug bounty bandwagon with promises of a $500 to $1500 for preview versions of its Microsoft Edge browser.
Microsoft will continue to pay out the $1500 bounty for vulnerabilities in the pre-stable early release versions of Edge.
Redmond security ecosystem and strategic lead Jason Shirk said: "Microsoft will be hosting a bounty for remote code execution vulnerabilities in Microsoft Edge on Windows Insider Preview builds. This bounty continues our partnership with the security research community in working to secure our platforms, in pre-release stages of the development process."
The program will run until May of next year.
"Bounties are worked alongside the security development lifecycle, operational security assurance framework, regular penetration testing of our products and services, and security and compliance accreditations by third party audits," Shirk says. "Start your fuzzers."
