In the first half of 2025, over 7.5 million cyber incidents were reported worldwide, marking a significant 19% increase compared to the previous year. With the average data breach now costing enterprises £3.6 million, the urgency for enhanced security measures is paramount.
To address the escalating threat landscape, Integrity360 has entered a strategic partnership with global bug bounty leader HackerOne. This partnership offers businesses access to over two million ethical hackers who provide real-time vulnerability detection and remediation, effectively pre-empting potential breaches.
The volume and complexity of cyber attacks continue to intensify, with many organisations - especially those with online interfaces - facing unrelenting attempts to uncover and exploit vulnerabilities. Reports indicate that 43% of UK businesses have encountered cyber security incidents over the last year. While traditional methods like penetration testing remain crucial, incorporating a structured bug bounty programme significantly enhances security measures.
Through this collaboration, Integrity360 and HackerOne deliver an ‘always-on’ framework for human-led testing, affording businesses continuous insight into emerging threats. Drawing on HackerOne’s expansive community of security researchers, Integrity360 identifies threats that automated solutions often miss, allowing for prioritisation and swift remediation of critical risks. Notably, clients only incur costs for the vulnerabilities detected, offering excellent return on investment.
By broadening its cyber security testing services, Integrity360 delivers a comprehensive suite including scheduled assessments, red teaming, and continuous researcher-led evaluations. As HackerOne powers the platform with unmatched crowd-sourced expertise, Integrity360 ensures seamless incorporation into client security architectures.
"Technology alone can't mathc the creativity and persistence of a determined attacker," said Riachard Ford, the CTO at Integrity365. "By partnering with HackerOne, we are enabling organisations to tap into a vast, global community of security researchers who continuously probe for weaknesses.
This global partnership holds distinct significance in the Irish market where Integrity360 stands as HackerOne’s exclusive partner, providing large-scale, human-driven testing facilitated by a reliable domestic provider.
Reflecting a growing industry move from periodic compliance assessments to continual, community-supported protective measures, the alliance sets the stage for real-time threat detection and response as an industry standard for effective cyber defence.
