Hack the Marine Corps allows us to leverage the talents of the global ethical hacker community to take an honest, hard look at our current cybersecurity posture. Our Marines need to operate against the best. What we learn from this program will assist the Marine Corps in improving our warfighting platform, the Marine Corps Enterprise Network. Working with the ethical hacker community provides us with a large return on investment to identify and mitigate current critical vulnerabilities, reduce attack surfaces, and minimize future vulnerabilities. It will make us more combat ready.Hack the Marine Corps is the latest bug bounty program announced under the "Hack the Pentagon" digital security initiative. Since the creation of that challenge, security researchers have reported over 5,000 vulnerabilities discovered in government systems. They've done so as part of sub-programs of Hack the Pentagon including "Hack the Army" and "Hack the Defense Travel System (DTS)." DoD designed Hack the Marine Corps to run on HackerOne's platform and focus on strengthening the security of the Marine Corps Enterprise Network (MCEN). This program is set to run until 26 August 2018.
