Proctorio, a leading provider of online AI proctoring solutions, proudly announces its new partnership with Hackrate, a renowned team of IT security experts and ethical hackers. Hackrate is not only dedicated to enhancing digital safety by helping organizations proactively address potential vulnerabilities, but also to giving ethical hackers an avenue to advance their skills while making a difference. This partnership ensures the continuation of security in Proctorio’s software for test-takers and exam administrators worldwide.
Proctorio is the industry’s only online proctoring extension that utilizes advanced AI and machine learning algorithms to monitor and detect specific behaviors defined by exam administrators. Depending on how the settings have been adjusted, administrators can flag instances where integrity may have been compromised and later review. Using end-to-end encryption, the exam recordings are accessible only to the institution's authorized personnel. To further the security of test-taker recordings and other sensitive information, Hackrate introduces a more managed bug bounty program, identifying and addressing potential vulnerabilities more effectively and efficiently.
Specializing in ethical hacking, Hackrate employs a crowdsourced approach for continuous security testing, as well as a platform, for managing and monitoring projects. Hackrate offers a variety of services including their managed bug bounty program, managed vulnerability disclosure policy (mVDP), and Attack Surface Management. By leveraging a global community of independent and motivated ethical hackers, Hackrate mitigates security risks, prevents potential data breaches, and offers a culture of transparency and responsibility by actively improving security levels. The team at Hackrate will be working hand-in-hand with Proctorio, ensuring a rapid response to any issues that may arise and allowing a better understanding of Proctorio’s unique needs so the experience can be tailored accordingly.
Proctorio invites ethical hackers and cyber security professionals to participate in this bug bounty program. Their contribution will assist with identifying vulnerabilities, thereby safeguarding Proctorio’s online solutions. Ethical hackers can submit detailed bug reports through the platform allowing Proctorio the chance to promptly remediate findings. Ethical hackers are recognized and rewarded “reputation points” through Hackrate's platform based on the severity of the reported vulnerabilities.
By partnering with Hackrate, Proctorio demonstrates its unwavering commitment to delivering trustworthy and secure online proctoring experiences and protection from malicious agents.
