Bootcamp Highlights - Bug Bounty

Guest Blog by Kimberley HaywardThanks to ZX Security for hosting a Bug Bounty bootcamp on Tuesday!This event provided lots of helpful information for people looking to start taking part in bounty programs. We got to look into what bug bounties are and how they work, and looked into some examples of bugs a few of the team have found in the past, the rewards for some of which were very impressive.We were also lucky enough to have engagement manager Ian share some great CV and interview tips, going into detail about what to include in your CV and some key dos and don’ts when it comes to how you present yourself to potential employees. Ian’s slides can be found here: https://www.slideshare.net/secret/Ai04BrVbXw3CIBWrapping up the event students got to dive in and try finding bugs for themselves in websites the ZX team provided. This was definitely a great event for anyone with an interest in a job relating to security!
