With «Bug Bounty as a Service» cyber resilience becomes affordable for SMEs

04.11.2025 | isolutions and Bug Bounty Switzerland open access to bug bounty programs for the Swiss SME sector

Traditional bug bounty programs are typically designed for large enterprises. For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), they are often too complex and costly. With the new offering “Bug Bounty as a Service,” Bug Bounty Switzerland and isolutions are now creating a low-threshold entry point for the Swiss SME market.

A bug bounty program engages a network of ethical hackers who, on behalf of a company, systematically test its systems—such as webshops, applications, or interfaces—for vulnerabilities. Hackers receive financial rewards for the security flaws they discover. However, to make such a program viable, a sufficiently attractive reward pool must be provided—something that has so far been a major barrier for many SMEs.

With Bug Bounty as a Service, this obstacle is now removed. Bug Bounty Switzerland’s Cyber Resilience Shield is made available to multiple SMEs at once, allowing costs to be shared. At the same time, isolutions’ Cyber Defense Center manages SLA-backed coordination and reporting of identified critical vulnerabilities to participating companies.

«With Bug Bounty as a Service, we can sustainably strengthen the resilience of mid-sized companies by activating a large network of ethical hackers at an SME-friendly price»

says Markus Kaegi, Business Unit Leader Cybersecurity at isolutions.

Florian Badertscher, COO of Bug Bounty Switzerland, adds:

«We’re glad that together with isolutions, we can now protect the important SME market with its specific needs—and we’re excited to combine our unique technology with a partner that’s firmly established in this segment. As a small company ourselves, partnerships like this are essential for us—so we’re all the more pleased about this collaboration.»
