"Cyber security is often called a team sport. I believe that deeply, and more importantly, we are all on the same team. If you see something insecure, report it. Every observation helps us strengthen our defences and improve together. At its core, cyber security has always been about people. Technology matters, but trust, communication, and shared responsibility matter more. These efforts remind us that when we collaborate, learn, and protect one another, we make Maryland stronger - together!"
"The US state of Maryland has launched a statewide Vulnerability Disclosure Programme (VDP) to give ethical hackers the chance to probe systems across its government for flaws and vulnerabilities and allow them safe, straightforward and transparent reporting mechanisms. The programme, which will be operated by bug bounty and VDP programme specialists at Bugcrowd, will give Maryland access to a well-established community of hackers, proven workflows and scalable reporting infrastructure."
Maryland launched a statewide Vulnerability Disclosure Programme (VDP) that enables ethical hackers to probe government systems for flaws and report vulnerabilities through safe, transparent mechanisms. The programme will be operated by Bugcrowd, providing access to a community of hackers, proven workflows, and scalable reporting infrastructure. The approach aims to increase hacker participation, speed vulnerability triaging, and allow internal IT teams to focus on remediation while preserving taxpayer value. A statement emphasized that cybersecurity requires teamwork, reporting insecure findings, and prioritizing people, trust, communication, and shared responsibility. Several other US states and jurisdictions already operate similar programmes. Concerns persist that CISA cutbacks may limit national cyber response capacity.
