What the global hacking community means to Intigriti
The global hacking community has never been more important. From students discovering their first bug to seasoned hackers uncovering flaws in complex systems, bug bounty has become a core part of modern cybersecurity.
“Behind our hackers, we have the wider community, running meetups, study groups, mentoring, sharing knowledge, creating content, and late-night Discord discussions. These environments are where ideas are shared, and confidence is built.”- Alex Olsen, Head of Hackers, Intigriti
At Intigriti, we believe that strong security ecosystems are built by strong communities and that’s why we’re launching the Intigriti Hacker Ambassador Program, an initiative designed to empower the people who are already helping the community grow.
What is the Intigriti Hacker Ambassador Program?
The Intigriti Hacker Ambassador Program is built to support and empower trusted members of the hacking community who want to make a difference locally and globally.
Ambassadors act as a bridge between hackers and the Intigriti team, helping strengthen local communities whilst ensuring feedback is captured and then flows directly back to us, the Intigriti team.
The program is built around three simple ideas:
Enabling community leaders with support and resources.
Bringing hackers together across regions and experience levels.
Encouraging growth and learning.
“The idea behind this program is simple: invest in individuals who give back to the community and focus on impact rather than status.” - Alex Olsen, Head of Hackers, Intigriti
What are Ambassadors responsible for?
Ambassadors don’t have set tasks. They contribute to the community in ways that align with their strengths and interests; there is no set or single “type” of ambassador.
Some will focus on running meetups, Capture the Flag (CTFs), study groups, and workshops. Others will focus on content creation and research. Ambassadors also help us stay connected to the broader ecosystem. They surface local challenges, share ideas, and provide feedback that help us continuously improve how we support hackers.
“We don’t want ambassadors to represent a logo, we want to support and enable them to strengthen the community.” - Alex Olsen, Head of Hackers, Intigriti
What do Ambassadors get in return for their efforts?
Being an ambassador is not about workload or holding a title for the sake of it. It’s about support, recognition, and access.
Ambassadors receive:
Direct support from the Intigriti team
Guidance and funding for community events, conferences, and meetups
Funding to visit key events and conferences
Public recognition for their contributions
Opportunities for growth, including opportunities to lead events, speak at Intigriti office hours, and collaborate on content.
How does the Intigriti Ambassador Program work?
We are launching the program with an initial pilot group of ambassadors across different regions, and from there, we will gradually expand through a structured application process.
Participation is flexible. Most ambassadors contribute a few hours per month, focusing on events and projects that they choose to undertake, supported by Intigriti.
The programme includes dedicated communication channels, regular roundtables to share feedback and ideas, and support for organising initiatives.
Our aim is sustainability and empowerment. If you’re already actively giving back to the community or have ideas to make a positive, wider impact, then the ambassador program could be a great place to get support.
Next steps to support your local hacker community
With the Intigriti Hacker Ambassador Program, Intigriti is investing in the people who invest in others.
“Intigriti is built with hackers in mind. Now it’s time to expand our relationship with our community even further by setting up The Hacker Ambassador Program. This program allows us to work even closer with our community, to co-shape the future of hacking in a fast-moving world. We want to work shoulder to shoulder with hackers, bringing more impact to their lives and to our customers.”- Stijn Jans, CEO and Founder, Intigriti
Stay tuned as we introduce you to our ambassadors in the coming weeks as part of our Hacker Spotlights.
If you’re passionate about supporting your local hacker community, mentoring newcomers, or bringing people together, we’d love to hear from you.
