OZiva Responsible Disclosure Program

What is OZiva Bug Bounty Responsible Disclosure Program?

We, at OZiva, work hard to keep our customers secure and make every effort to be on top of the latest threats. We believe that information security is as important as our product offerings and should be handled with utmost attention.

The program is active from 1st August 2022.

Security researchers are increasingly engaging with internet companies to hunt down vulnerabilities. If you are a security researcher and have found a valid security vulnerability in our applications (refer scope provided below), please report it to us right away through our Bug Bounty Responsible Disclosure Program.
