Bramerz Brings Social Apps Insights & Bug Bash to Karachi

Though the idea of hackathons has gained a lot of traction in several industry verticals locally, bug bounty programs per se still remain a rarity in Pakistan. A bug bounty program is basically a company offering software engineers, developers or techies a reward or recognition for reporting bugs, mostly pertaining to exploitation and vulnerabilities. Global examples of successful bug bounty programs include those conducted by leading technology giants like Google, Twitter, Facebook, Samsung and Uber, helping them in their security issues, development and testing processes.
