HP is committed to engineering the most secure printers in the world.
This program is based on invite-only basis so that it can better manage incoming vulnerabilities.
Researchers can earn anywhere between $500 and $10,000 per legitimate find under the terms of the program.
For years, the conversation about cybersecurity has focused on software and networking, said Albright.
Today, bad actors are targeting endpoint devices.
Protecting connected devices, like printers, at the edge of the internet has become paramount.
During the past year, the total endpoint bugs across the industry have increased 21 percent.
HP said that the bug bounty program will run indefinitely.
In due course, the company plans to extend the bug bounty to its PC lineup.
HP started this bug bounty program in May this year, CNETreports.
The company has already given $10,000 prize to one researcher who pointed out a critical vulnerability.
Currently, the program has 34 researchers on board.
