About the Bug Bounty program

Information security at TeamViewer

We make no compromises when it comes to the security of our application. We follow a security-by-design approach and regularly check the security of our software and infrastructure through code reviews, internal and external penetration tests, and automated measures. Despite all our efforts, 100% security of IT systems can never be guaranteed. We strive to offer the greatest possible security and are committed to pursuing this with transparency and dedication.

With our Bug Bounty Program, we open ourselves up to a wide circle of security experts (crowdsourced penetration testing) in order to offer our customers and users the best possible protection against data loss and cyber attacks.
