CVE Program’s New Forums: A Welcome Comedy of Errors or a Stroke of Genius?
The CVE Program is launching two new forums, the CVE Consumer Working Group and the Researcher Working Group, to amplify voices and shape the initiative’s future. It’s like giving the CVE community a megaphone—finally, everyone gets a say, not just the IT wizards or those who speak fluent tech jargon!
Hot Take:
In the world of cybersecurity, where everyone’s a critic but no one wants to be on stage, the CVE Program is rolling out the red carpet with two shiny new forums. They’re like the Oscars for vulnerability enthusiasts, only with fewer tuxedos and more lines of code. Just when you thought CVE was going to ghost us, they extend their contract and invite everyone to the party. So, whether you’re a CVE connoisseur or a bug bounty hunter, grab your virtual popcorn because the CVE Board wants you to help direct the next blockbuster. It’s like being invited to join the Avengers, only instead of fighting Thanos, you’re fighting zero-day exploits. Suit up, nerds, it’s showtime!
