In this episode of Apple @ Work, 9to5Mac’s Arin Waichulis joins host Bradley C to discuss Apple’s decision to implement cool-down periods on its bug bounty submission program. The move comes amid a surge in AI-generated security findings, prompting Apple to cap the number of reports accepted from individual researchers. The podcast explores how these changes aim to improve the quality and manageability of vulnerability disclosures while maintaining Apple’s commitment to security.

Mosyle sponsors the show as the only Apple Unified Platform, trusted by over 45,000 organizations to deploy, manage, and protect Apple devices at work. Listeners can subscribe via Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify, Pocket Casts, Castro, or RSS.

Bradley C, a veteran in K-12 IT leadership with two decades of experience in enterprise Wi-Fi, macOS, iOS, and SaaS tools, provides context on how these policy shifts affect security researchers and enterprise IT teams alike.
