Bug Bounty Engagement Simulator Enhancements

We’ve released major enhancements to the Bug Bounty Engagement Simulator to give you greater flexibility, more accurate forecasts, and deeper insights when planning your engagements.

What’s New

  • 12-Month Forecasting: Simulate engagement outcomes over a full calendar year (previously limited to 6 months).
  • Expanded Input Options: Customize simulations with new configuration controls, including:
    • ID verification
    • Background checks
    • Geographic restrictions
    • NDA requirements
    • Credentials setup
    • Collaboration settings
    • Disclosure settings
  • Submission Funnel View: See projected outcomes broken down by:
    • Total submissions (all vulnerabilities, including duplicates)
    • Valid submissions (unresolved + resolved + duplicates)
    • Unique submissions (unresolved + resolved)
  • Relocated Tool: The simulator now lives in the Engagements Page for easier access from your program dashboard.

Benefits

  • Plan budgets and resources with 12 months of projections.
  • Model “what-if” scenarios to see how different requirements impact participation, findings, and costs.
  • Better prepare for triage workloads with the submission quality breakdown.
