Which one is better, a penetration test or a bug bounty?

I can't decide which is better for identifying and mitigating security vulnerabilities: a penetration test or a bug bounty program? Both seem to have their own advantages and limitations, and I am trying to determine the best approach for my organization. Can you help me understand the pros and cons of each, and perhaps offer some insight into how I can make a more informed decision?

Hi Suzanne, These two services are suited to different needs. A traditional pentest is a great way to test the security of your assets, although they tend to be time-boxed exercises in a continuously changing environment. Given that traditional pentests are often carried out by expert third-party consultants, they can also be extremely expensive. A bug bounty, meanwhile, gives continuous security protection over time, where the bounties are open to a wide cross-section of ethical hackers. For those in search of some middle ground, Intigriti’s Hybrid Pentest is suitable for fast, targeted checks on assets and if you need proof of attestation for specific compliance.
