CISA’s CVE Program: From Growth to a Quality Era of Cybersecurity Comedy
CISA evaluates potential mechanisms for diversified CVE funding as it transitions from the “Growth Era” to the “Quality Era.” The agency emphasizes the need for a vendor-neutral, publicly maintained program, while considering alternative funding sources and increased multi-sector engagement. Meanwhile, MITRE’s future role in the program remains a topic of speculation.
Hot Take:
Oh, CISA! It’s like you’re that friend who finally decides to take charge of their life and makes a list of all the things they need to fix. Instead of hitting the gym or eating more kale, you’re talking about vulnerabilities and cybersecurity. But hey, the world needs its digital superheroes too! Welcome to the “Quality Era” — because who needs growth when you can have quality, right? Let’s hope this era isn’t like a New Year’s resolution that fizzles out by February. Keep those cyber villains on their toes!
Key Points:
- CISA is backing the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) program, ensuring it stays public and vendor-neutral.
- The agency is exploring diversified funding and a more active leadership role.
- Multi-sector engagement and transparency are emphasized for the CVE program’s future.
- Modernization efforts include improving data quality and automation in vulnerability disclosure.
- CVE is transitioning from a “Growth Era” to a “Quality Era” with a focus on better data.
