The chipmaker on Wednesday published its 2020 Product Security Report, which reveals that nearly half of the vulnerabilities patched last year were discovered by its own employees, and the company claims that a vast majority of the addressed issues are the direct result of its investment in product security assurance.

According to Intel, 105 vulnerabilities were reported through the company’s bug bounty program, which saw a 33% increase in submissions compared to the previous year. The company also reported seeing a significant increase in the number of external security researchers it engaged with.
