Trusted pioneer Intigriti is a trusted pioneer in crowdsourced security, in which businesses harness the expertise of independent cybersecurity researchers [ethical hackers] to detect vulnerabilities early, helping avoid the costly damage of security breaches. Since 2016, Intigriti has empowered many of the world’s largest organisations, including Coca-Cola, Intel, Microsoft, and NVIDIA, to proactively identify and address vulnerabilities before cybercriminals exploit them.

With an expanding threat landscape, a surge in AI-driven products, and a commitment to innovation, NVIDIA is enhancing cybersecurity with a proactive approach by tapping into the global security researcher community. The Intigriti community includes over 125,000 ethical hackers, equipped to test mission-critical AI infrastructure at scale and speed in real-time. The new programme includes a web portal that Intigriti members use as an interface to take part in finding and reporting potential cybersecurity issues. This will make it faster for the community and NVIDIA to report and respond to events. Potential vulnerabilities "With the world-class expertise of our community of researchers, we're working with NVIDIA to identify potential vulnerabilities in AI infrastructure, boosting security as AI becomes increasingly embedded in business operations,” said Stijn Jans, CEO and founder, Intigriti. “This is an exciting moment for our community to help shape cybersecurity in the era of AI.” Global community of AI experts “To secure the full stack of AI infrastructure, it takes more than just advanced technology; it requires collaboration across every layer,” said David Reber, Chief Security Officer at NVIDIA. “Working with Intigriti’s global community of AI experts allows a collaborative and diverse approach to identify risks and strengthen the security of the AI ecosystem.” Security testing programs Over the next six months, Intigriti will launch a series of new security testing programs with NVIDIA, including: A private bug bounty programme, where a variety of assets will be examined, focusing on NVIDIA products. A Vulnerability Disclosure Program (no-reward VDP), with all NVIDIA assets in scope. An additional private bug bounty package to cover core AI elements.
