Google has pledged $1 million in funding to the Linux Foundation’s Secure Open Source (SOS) pilot program, which aims to improve the security of critical open source projects.
The program is part of the tech giant’s recently announced $10 billion commitment to cybersecurity defense, following a meeting with US President Joe Biden, in August.
According to a FAQ posted on the website of the SOS Rewards program, while it does appear similar to a traditional bug bounty program, the SOS Rewards program has a broader perspective and isn’t looking to reward specific project vulnerabilities.
