Getting started
with cyber stress testing

  • 01
    Eliminate common vulnerabilities

    Enhance team cohesion and improve vulnerability management processes by testing your services on Standoff Bug Bounty. This step is recommended by the Standoff team, as it helps address infrastructure weaknesses that hackers will likely exploit first.

     
  • 02
    Prepare the program

    Define your company's non-tolerable events so researchers can test how likely they are. Set the rules of your cyber stress testing program.

     
  • 03
    Run the cyber stress test

    You can launch your program on the Standoff Bug Bounty platform in either public or private mode. After the program launch, security researchers look for penetration paths and report attack chains that lead to full or partial realization of non-tolerable events.
