Meet HackerOne Recommendations: a built-in intelligence layer that continuously refines your security program, delivering personalized insights and your program’s historical performance.
Eliminate Guesswork With Contextual, High-value Suggestions
With HackerOne Recommendations, you don’t need to manually sift through reports or guess which actions will impact your programs most. This automated intelligence layer continuously evaluates your security program’s performance and delivers personalized, high-value recommendations—right inside your HackerOne Home Page.
Recommendations aren’t just a generic list of tasks—they are risk-driven, context-aware, and backed by real attack intelligence based on HackerOne’s comprehensive database, which comprises over 500,000 valid vulnerabilities reported across industries.
Every month, HackerOne assesses 20 trigger conditions within your program, with a continually growing set of factors that enhance its intelligence over time. As data expands, so does the system’s ability to surface even more precise, high-impact suggestions, designed to:
- Optimize vulnerability response times by identifying bottlenecks and delays in triage workflows
- Maximize hacker engagement by analyzing payout structures, report resolution speed, and incentive alignment
- Reduce critical security gaps by identifying trends in missed, delayed, or incorrectly prioritized vulnerabilities
- Benchmark your program’s efficiency against industry peers and top performers
