40% of businesses say finding a balance between security and customer experience is a top challenge for 2024*.
We build security into everything we do so we can strike that balance. With robust tools, programs, and safeguards in place, we can partner with our customers to stay resilient.
Ensuring the security and integrity of the Twilio platform is critical to the service we provide our customers. We are committed to delivering a secure product and greatly appreciate help from the community in responsibly identifying ways for us to improve. Our Vulnerability Disclosure Program is open to everyone—whether you're a customer, professional security researcher that does not meet the Bug Bounty Program requirements, or just someone who has discovered a potential issue. By responsibly reporting vulnerabilities in our applications or online services, you enable us to address them promptly and protect our community. While this program doesn't offer monetary rewards, your contribution is invaluable to us. If you find a vulnerability, please follow our submission guidelines to let us know.
For those interested in earning rewards for their security expertise, we offer a Bug Bounty Program through the Bugcrowd platform. This program invites experienced security researchers to identify and report vulnerabilities in our applications and internet-facing assets. Eligible findings may qualify for monetary bounties based on their severity and impact. By participating, you not only help us strengthen our security but also receive recognition and compensation for your valuable contributions. If you've discovered a vulnerability and wish to join our Bug Bounty Program, please read our bounty brief and submit your report here.
