Together with GObugfree AG
We are working together with GObugfree AG to organise the ROESTI event. GObugfree AG operates the GObugfree platform, which enables universities to create and manage an individual bug bounty programme and offers both the students (friendly hackers) and the universities legal protection in the form of a ‘legal safe harbour’. As long as the students (friendly hackers) remain within the framework set by the universities, they are not liable to prosecution because the universities give their prior consent to such hacking activities.
Important information
The GObugfree platform may only be used in accordance with the GObugfree AG terms of use.
Switch is solely responsible for the organisation of the ROESTI event (event management) and will provide technical or organisational support if required. Switch is not responsible for the GObugfree platform or any damage caused by hacking activities.
