Last year, the number of resolved security defects was 6% higher than in 2023. Intel reported that proactive efforts led to an increase in flaws addressed, with 94% for firmware bugs and 92% for software issues.
The company reported that bug bounty rewards were given for 53% of the 374 vulnerabilities fixed in 2024. Most rewards (84%) were for software flaws, while 16% were for firmware defects.
In recent years Intel has no longer shared information on the bug bounty amounts it has paid out.
