# What is GEROBUG?

The First Open Source Self-managed Bug Bounty Platform.

Are you a company, planning to have your own bug bounty program, with minimum budget?

**We got you!**

We are aware that some organizations have had difficulty establishing their own bug bounty program. If you know what you're doing, using a third-party managed platform usually comes with a hefty price tag and increased security concerns. However, creating your own independently run platform will take time and effort.

This is where **Gerobug** takes part, we are creating an independent platform that can solve those issues. Any company won’t need to worry on managing the flows to start a private bug bounty program since they only need **one command** to run and launch the program.

## **TL;DR**

Gerobug is FREE and may help companies start and manage their own bug bounty program within minutes.
