HackerOne, an operator in human-powered security, has launched its first partner program, PartnerOne. This initiative aims to enable partners to sell HackerOne solutions through their own channels, reducing commercial barriers for customers eager to adopt human-powered security measures.
The core of HackerOne's offerings involves tapping into a vast, global community of ethical hackers to perform AI red teaming, bug bounty programs, and penetration testing. These services are designed to identify vulnerabilities that automated testing might overlook. The program has attracted notable partners such as APNT and network testing, monitoring, and automation experts.
Remco Poortvliet, CTO at APNT, noted, "With the addition of HackerOne, our customers have gained access to leading human-powered security solutions, which complement and extend our existing suite of offerings. Our customers can now access an extensive, global community of ethical hackers and benefit from AI red teaming, bug bounty programs, and penetration testing."
PartnerOne aims to support channel and technology partners, including value-added resellers (VARs), solutions providers, and referral partners. The program offers a range of resources to help partners maximise their use of HackerOne's offerings. These resources include free online training and enablement, opportunity management, lead source sharing, and renewals managers, among other tools.
HackerOne appointed John Addeo as VP of Global Channels to lead this new initiative. Addeo brings over twenty years of experience in the global enterprise IT and cybersecurity business. Speaking on the rising market demand for cybersecurity solutions, Addeo stated, "A rapidly evolving threat landscape has driven strong market demand for the adversarial testing skills, services, and risk reduction that only ethical hackers can provide. Expanding access to HackerOne across the channel enables our growing partner network to build an additional revenue opportunity and support their customers through increasingly complex cybersecurity challenges."
The launch of PartnerOne is part of HackerOne's broader effort to simplify how organisations can benefit from its platform, hosting a global community of over two million ethical hackers. Earlier this year, HackerOne introduced its AI co-pilot, Hai, which enhances the insights organisations can gain from program and platform data. In another recent development, the company announced the CREST certification of its penetration testing solution, which is intended to help organisations maintain compliance with regulatory standards.
HackerOne continues to serve renowned organisations, including the US Department of Defense, Adobe, and Goldman Sachs, aiding them in identifying impactful vulnerabilities, reducing various security risks, and meeting regulatory requirements.
