Antavo Launches New Bug Bounty Program to Identify Potential Security Vulnerabilities
July 6, 2021
In order to ensure the highest level of data security in its product, Antavo launches a new bug bounty program. Doing so provides ethical white hat hackers with a platform to submit their findings of potential security flaws and receive appropriate compensation and recognition.
As a B2B company specializing in customer loyalty, data security and information privacy play an important role in Antavo’s policy because modern customers only trust companies that handle their data with the utmost care. “Antavo dedicates a considerable amount of resources to expanding its infrastructure and development teams to deliver the highest possible data and privacy protection for both its clients and their customers. Still, sometimes an outside perspective can yield further findings, which is why we have decided to enlist the help of white hat hackers from all across the globe.” says Csaba Horvath, Antavo’s Engineering Director.
Working with ethical hackers is an industry trend practiced by established tech giants such as Facebook, Microsoft, Mozilla, Reddit and others. Offering ‘bug bounty programs’, these companies compensate any group or individual who reports security vulnerabilities or major exploits through an official channel.
As a technology company, Antavo is fully aware of the value of data security and is willing to go the extra mile in order to ensure it. For this reason, Antavo made the decision to establish its own bug bounty program on HACKTIFY, an independent third-party bounty platform. Volunteers who identify potential vulnerabilities in Antavo’s technology can submit their reports on the site and receive financial recognition based on the severity of the issue.
Denis Zõkov, an independent Solution Architect participating in the program emphasizes: “Collaborating with companies to improve their cybersecurity level is important, because it positively influences all participants. It gives confidence to customers and makes competitors in the industry work even harder to build a secure product.”

Frequently asked questions about Antavo
What can brands build with Antavo?
Brands use Antavo to run the whole loyalty and incentives program on one platform: points, tiers, challenges, streaks, referrals, clubs, and rewards beyond discounts; promotions and incentives for members and non-members alike, from bonus points and promo codes to bundles and cart-level offers; and agentic AI built in. Everything runs online, in store, on mobile, and in wallet, and marketers launch it themselves.
Who uses Antavo?
Antavo works with mid-market and upper-mid-market brands across fashion, retail, beauty, travel, hospitality, restaurants, and sports in North America and Europe: multi-market, omnichannel brands with a strong identity and customers worth keeping, including Paul Smith, KFC, SKIMS, Rip Curl, Benefit Cosmetics, and Hyatt's Inclusive Collection.
How long has Antavo been around?
Antavo was founded in 2012 and has been building loyalty programs for more than a decade, with teams across Europe and North America serving brands worldwide.
Why do brands switch to Antavo?
Most loyalty programs get stuck: reduced to a discount engine, generic to customers, or too rigid to evolve. Antavo removes those compromises. Brands get a program that feels unmistakably their own, loyalty and incentives on one platform, and the depth to handle tiers, expirations, refunds, and many markets at scale. Their own marketers run it: a tier change in an afternoon, live when they press the button.
How does Antavo use AI?
Antavo's agentic AI is built in, not bolted on. Two named agents do the work: the AI Loyalty Expert, which turns your ideas into a build-ready program, and the AI Analyst, which turns your data into clear answers and reports. Both work inside Antavo or connect to Claude and ChatGPT, and every answer is grounded in your own program and data.
What does Antavo integrate with?
Antavo is API-first with real-time webhooks and deep pre-built integrations, from Shopify, Klaviyo, Braze, and Bloomreach to the CRMs, CDPs, ESPs, and POS systems you already use. Antavo plugs into the stack you already run rather than replacing it.
