# Security Audit Ensuring the utmost security and safety of our protocol is a top priority. Before any public release, we diligently collaborate with trusted auditors to thoroughly assess our code, identifying and mitigating potential risks. Horizon Protocol has undergone significant front-end and back-end changes, including new interfaces and functionalities. All of these changes necessitated critical updates to our code. To ensure user safety, we conduct periodic audits by industry-leading auditors. The Protocol is also working with [Hacken Proof by publishing a bug bounty](https://medium.com/@horizonprotocol/horizon-protocol-v2-hacken-bug-bounty-program-now-live-on-testnet-4617205c7184) to further enhance the security.
