Microsoft awarded over $370,000 in bounties to security researchers for 16 bounty eligible reports of vulnerabilities submitted through the Azure Sphere Security Research Challenge (ASSRC) IoT-focused research program.

Out of the 40 submissions, 16 were bounty-eligible amounting to $374,300 in awarded bounties. 10 of those that were not eligible "identified known areas where a potential risk is specifically mitigated in another part of the system—something often referred to in the field as 'by design'."

"Many of the vulnerabilities found during the research challenge were novel and high impact, and led to major security improvements for Azure Sphere in their 20.07, 20.08, and the latest 20.09 updates, which have been automatically pushed to Azure Sphere devices that are connected to the internet to help secure Azure Sphere customers," Microsoft said.
