Authorized-researcher workflow for bug bounty triage & reporting

Authorized-researcher workflow for bug bounty triage & reporting targets a $10.0B = 200,000 application-first organizations x $50,000 ACV total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 18% estimated growth in vulnerability management & bug-bounty spend.

Key trends driving demand: Shift-left security -- development teams adopt security earlier, increasing demand for integrated researcher workflows; AI-assisted triage -- LLMs and automation reduce manual repro and classification time, making program scale practical; Program maturity -- more mid-market companies run continuous disclosure/bounty programs rather than ad-hoc reports; Supply-chain attacks -- spotlight on vendor security drives budget to managed vulnerability programs and external research.
