"
We perform penetration testing through a combination of our in-house offensive security team, qualified third-party penetration testers and a year-round public bug bounty program. We conduct penetration tests on major releases, new services and security-sensitive features. We typically perform 8-10 external third-party penetration tests and 15-20 internal penetration tests per year, and all material findings must be addressed before a test can be marked as passed. As part of our commitment to transparency, we publicly share our platform-wide third-party test report in our due diligence package.
