Sony has announced it is taking its bug bounty program public as it looks to track down vulnerabilities on both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Network.

In a blog post, senior director of software engineering at SIE, Geoff Norton explained why the company has now decided to open its bug bounty program up to the public, saying:

“To date, we have been running our bug bounty program privately with some researchers. We recognize the valuable role that the research community plays in enhancing security, so we’re excited to announce our program for the broader community.”

Unlike Microsoft which launched its Xbox bounty program on its own earlier this year, PlayStation is partnering with the bug bounty platform HackerOne which will pay out to security researchers who discover any vulnerabilities.
