Responsible Reporting

We at Euronext Securities Oslo consider the security of our systems a top priority. But no matter how much effort we put into system security, there can still be vulnerabilities present. 

If you discover a vulnerability, we would like to know about it so we can take steps to address it as quickly as possible. We would like to ask you to help us better protect our clients and our systems.

Scope:

At present, Euronext Securities Oslo Responsible Disclosure Programme applies to security vulnerabilities discovered in the following web location:

• Do not put a backdoor in the system, not even for the purpose of showing the vulnerability
