> if they did a bug bounty program, they'd go bankrupt.

I appreciate the honesty! I do think that any company that offers a bug bounty program already has their security in order, to the point where they can no longer find any obvious issues themselves anymore. Not having a bug bounty program implies they don't really trust themselves yet, or haven't reached that level of maturity yet. That probably covers most companies though. I know the codebase I inherited at my current employer wouldn't pass even the most superficial security check. Its only line of defense is that it's only on private networks. Until it isn't. I wonder if I should do a google to look for any public instances... just did, I'm only finding a lot of search engine spam thankfully.

Personally, I didn't find the conversation "honest", even loosely.
