The US Department of Defense (DoD) has invited hackers participate in “Hack the Pentagon”, a program aimed at finding vulnerabilities in some of the Department’s websites.
The project is an alternative to the usual testing performed by the Department’s red teams, and is a way to get the tech industry involved. Ash Carter, the Defense Secretary, is currently on a West Coast tour that’s “part of efforts to strengthen ties with the tech community, expand thinking and strengthen the department against future threats.”
