An international coalition supporting legal protections for responsible cybersecurity vulnerability researchers and disclosure
“Ethical cybersecurity research which help us clean up the digital environment deserves and needs proper legal protection”
Ciaran Martin
Former CEO UK NCSC
“It’s important to separate malicious actors from responsible, ethical, researchers who conduct their research within settled best practices. Supporting the latter, while condemning the former, is a worthy cause.”
Chris Painter
Former US Cyber Diplomat
“Security researchers are the public safety whistleblowers for technology that the world increasingly depends upon. It’s high time the world’s laws provided these good faith hackers safer ways to perform their vital research essential to securing the modern world,”
Katie Moussouris
Founder, Luta Security
“If good-faith security research is the Internet's Immune System, then modernising legislation to recognise hacking as a dual-use and morally agnostic activity, as well as creating carve-outs for today's Internet's ‘digital locksmiths’, is the equivalent of resolving the Internet's auto-immune problem.”
Casey Ellis
Founder - Bugcrowd & Disclose.io
“Because of complexity and distributed nature of vulnerabilities, we need to empower and not penalise those who are working in good faith in the interest of public safety. Secure ICTs are key to creating a safe and stable cyberspace where we can unlock the potential of technology and empower individuals. Cybersecurity researchers are key to this mission.”
