3Com will pay for vulnerabilty reports
Robert Lemos writes in SecurityFocus:
TippingPoint, a division of networking giant 3Com, plans to pay researchers for information about unannounced vulnerabilities in major systems and software and will add bonuses for prolific flaw finders, the company announced on Monday.
Under the program, dubbed the Zero Day Initiative (ZDI), researchers will submit details of security bugs to 3Com and the company will make offers to become the exclusive owner of the information. The networking giant will use the information to provide early protection to its customers and also work with the affected product's maker to fix the vulnerability.
