Integrity360 and HackerOne have entered a strategic partnership to give organizations proactive protection against escalating cyber threats. By combining Integrity360’s expertise with HackerOne’s global community of more than two million ethical hackers, companies gain unique attacker-perspective defenses available around the clock.
Rising cyber threats and growing costs
Recent figures show more than 7.5 million global cybersecurity incidents were reported in the first half of 2025 — a 19% increase year-over-year. The average data breach now costs companies around 45 million Swedish kronor, underscoring that a passive approach is no longer an option.
Cyberattacks are also becoming increasingly sophisticated and often target organizations with web-based infrastructure. A UK survey found that 43% of companies experienced an attack or incident in the past year.
Bug bounty programs take security to the next level
Traditional approaches such as penetration testing and red teaming remain important, but they are usually periodic. A bug bounty program provides a continuous layer of protection in which ethical hackers actively look for vulnerabilities in real time.
The partnership between Integrity360 and HackerOne gives organizations direct access to a global network that:
- Identifies vulnerabilities faster than internal teams
- Uncovers risks that automated tools miss
- Provides 24/7 visibility into how attackers view systems
- Costs only when real vulnerabilities are found
Industry expert insights
– “Technology alone cannot match the creativity and persistence of a determined attacker. Through HackerOne’s community, we give organizations access to a vast global resource that continually searches for weaknesses. This is proactive defense in practice,” says Richard Ford, CTO at Integrity360.
– “Integrity360 brings deep corporate security expertise, while our hacker community provides real-world insights that tools cannot deliver. Together we help organizations find and remediate vulnerabilities faster,” says John Addeo, VP Global Partnerships at HackerOne.
Strengthening cybersecurity in Ireland and beyond
The partnership is global but has a specific focus on the Irish market, where Integrity360 is the exclusive partner to HackerOne. That means Irish organizations can now benefit from advanced, human-led testing through a trusted local provider.
Towards a new era of continuous protection
This initiative reflects a broader shift in cybersecurity — from periodic assessments to continuous, community-driven testing. As cyber threats evolve rapidly, real-time detection and immediate remediation are essential to reduce business risk and reinforce customer trust.
