The Intigriti Ethical Hacker Survey 2022 is now available, highlighting how ethical hacking continues to grow as a popular career choice for all levels of security experts.

For the second year running, Intigriti has gone into the field and spoken to a wide range of respondents of all levels of experience working in the fast-moving world of ethical hacking, bug bounty programs, and beyond.

It's still not a full-time job for most of these bug hunters, but 96% of ethical hackers would like to dedicate more time to bug bounty hunting in the future and 66% are considering it as a full-time career.

While we've seen that 54% of respondents are considering a full-time job in ethical hacking, we also uncovered that 49% of them say their bug bounty experience has helped them secure an employment opportunity, and many more believe their experience will help them secure work in the future.

Added benefits of bug bounty programs for ethical hackers.

One final observation from the 2022 survey was that most of our respondents strongly prefer not working outside of a bug bounty platform like Intigriti.
