HackerOne launches PartnerOne alliance for AI-driven security

HackerOne has announced the launch of its PartnerOne Technology Alliance Program, aiming to enable tighter integration between its AI-powered security platform and other technology providers.

The new programme allows technology partners to develop direct integrations with HackerOne's platform. This aims to help customers improve their response to vulnerabilities by creating security workflows that connect seamlessly with existing business operations and development practices. Technology partners will have access to sandbox environments, API documentation, co-branded content, and joint go-to-market support.

Through this approach, the company wants to foster collaboration in the cybersecurity sector, enabling end users to respond to vulnerabilities more quickly and effectively by using AI to scale and support human expertise.

Partnership focus

John Addeo, Vice President of Partner Ecosystems at HackerOne, described the initiative as a collaborative effort designed to support both customers and partners:

"At HackerOne, we believe the strength of our ecosystem is measured by the collective impact we make for our customers and partners. This program goes beyond integration—it's about collaboration. By joining forces with leading technology providers, we're building a connected ecosystem that simplifies and scales workflows using AI, expands market reach, and delivers stronger security outcomes."

The PartnerOne Technology Alliance Program will offer partners technical enablement and collaborative marketing opportunities, designed to streamline engagement and broaden the reach of integrated security solutions. By bringing together different tools within one framework, customers can expect more efficient identification, management, and remediation of security vulnerabilities.

Industry participation

A notable example of the alliance in action is the integration with Secure Code Warrior. This collaboration aims to help organisations leverage HackerOne's data-driven insight on vulnerabilities and translate them into secure development actions within developer workflows. Matias Madou, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Secure Code Warrior, commented on the significance of the partnership:

"The cybersecurity industry thrives when we pair true innovation with strategic collaboration, and our integration with HackerOne is a prime example of complementary technologies forging a powerful path forward. This partnership allows our joint customers to transform HackerOne's immense vulnerability insights into targeted, actionable learning modules and AI-powered recommendations directly within developer workflows. It's about empowering developers to learn from real-world findings and proactively build secure software from the start, driving a more resilient and secure development lifecycle for the industry as a whole."

Secure Code Warrior's integration leverages the real-time vulnerability data from the platform to enrich the learning and remediation processes for developers, facilitating targeted skills development and application security improvement at the source.

Automation and intelligent workflows

The PartnerOne Technology Alliance Program includes support for external connectors and automation features. These enable customers to design custom security workflows by integrating the HackerOne Platform with their broader security infrastructure. The platform employs Hai, HackerOne's AI security agent, to optimise and automate key processes, such as routing alerts and coordinating response teams based on the severity and context of reported vulnerabilities.

Neil Schloth, Vice President and Global Head of Application Security at Fiserv, commented on the benefit for application security teams:

"Combining HackerOne's expertise in vulnerability discovery with Secure Code Warrior's focus on code security training solutions equips developers with real-world fixes for novel security vulnerabilities."

The automations are intended to turn real-time exploit intelligence into planned and coordinated actions, spanning the security and development toolchain to enable more efficient handling of incidents as they arise.

AI and security strategy

Nidhi Aggarwal, Chief Product Officer at HackerOne, outlined how the new alliances reflect a broader strategy to use AI in service of cybersecurity operations:

"Security in the AI era demands both speed and precision. At HackerOne, we're building a platform that uses AI to supercharge human ingenuity, accelerating how we detect, triage, and respond to vulnerabilities at scale. The Technology Alliance Program is an extension of this vision, connecting our AI-driven insights with partner innovation to deliver integrated, resilient, and adaptive security workflows that evolve with today's threat landscape."

The PartnerOne Technology Alliance Program is designed to support the development of an adaptive, integrated security ecosystem that responds to rapid changes and challenges presented by modern threats. The programme invites technology providers to join and build on the existing platform's capabilities to create new, scalable security solutions.
