NEW YORK — Enterprise retail technology platform Sweed launched what it believes to be the cannabis industry’s first-ever “bug bounty” program — a strategic initiative aimed at enhancing the security of stored customer data. The program allows cybersecurity researchers to hack the cannabis retail platform and receive rewards of up to $2,000 depending on the severity of the vulnerability the researcher discovers.
The bug bounty program is live on HackenProof, where security researchers can test approved assets within the defined scope. The scope of the program includes Sweed’s core web services and infrastructure. Open to security experts, the program guidelines are:
- All testing must be conducted strictly within the defined scope, without impacting users or production systems.
- Participants are required to maintain confidentiality and follow HackenProof’s responsible disclosure policies.
- Any/All awards will be assessed based on CVSS severity level of the issue discovered.
