In this article, I'd like to share some of my key insights and tips that could help your organization create or refine a security hackathon playbook.

Hackathon events bring together product and security experts for the sole purpose of finding security vulnerabilities within a product.

The security experts provide the security mindset and knowledge about how to break and hack systems, while the product experts provide knowledge about the inner workings of the specific target product.

A security lead responsible for analyzing the security architecture and identifying the priority security areas.

Product knowledge is not required for security researchers, but for complex products and/or technologies, I highly recommend the security team ramp up their understanding of product architecture and design as much as possible.

The intent is to ensure that the security analysis done during the event is captured and incorporated into a final hackathon report that can be used for any future security evaluations.
