Public Sector Security Redefined: From Vulnerability to Strength
Our mission isn’t just to detect threats. It’s to build trust in the systems that power our public institutions.
Access Cybersecurity Experts with Clearance
HackerOne cybersecurity experts are U.S. citizens, have security clearances (including Top Secret and Top Secret / Sensitive Compartmented Information), and specialize in federal agency requirements. We can match your agency to hackers who:
- Find cybersecurity risks on an ongoing basis
- Prioritize these risks based upon potential impacts
- Enable cybersecurity personnel to focus on the most significant problems first
Cybersecurity for State and Local Gov
Election security and citizen privacy protection are priorities for state and local governments. Ransomware attacks have left no part of the country unspared, from rural areas like Garfield County, Utah and Lake City, Florida, to major metropolitan cities like Baltimore and Atlanta. No matter how large or small the challenge, ethical hackers can help.
Secure Elections and Citizens
Ensure your state has a monitored process in place to receive vulnerability reports from third-party sources. With over 500,000 skilled hackers and security researchers, HackerOne can help flag potential issues to your security team before they can be exploited and impact the election, power grid, or other critical systems (including SCADA).
Public sector security challenges, solved
Resource constraints
Complement existing security capabilities by adding human expertise enhanced by AI tools to identify and help remediate vulnerabilities that automated systems miss.
Cloud migration security
Ensure security throughout your digital transformation with focused testing for cloud configurations, access controls, and integration points.
AI system security
Stress-test your AI implementations to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities. Our approach aligns with federal guidance on AI procurement and security testing, helping you make the most of AI safely and securely.
