A partnership has been established between COMCYBER and a start-up, YesWeHack. So, yes, I do announce: we will launch the first Bug Bounty of the French Armed Forces Ministry at the end of February 2019. Ethical hackers, recruited within the cyber operational reserve, will be able to search for vulnerabilities in our systems and, if successful, be as they should be, rewarded.
-Florence Parly, the French Armed Forces Minister
With the signing of this partnership, the Armed Forces Ministry becomes the first French Ministry to launch a Bug Bounty program. COMCYBER will leverage YesWeHack Bug Bounty platform to meet the growing challenge posed by new cyber threats.

This Bug Bounty program opens new perspectives for the management of the operational cyber reserve. Ultimately, such initiative will make possible to train reservists and increase their skills to significantly and durably improve the Ministry’s level of security.
