DON’T PANIC! Grab your towel and come along for a tour of the crazy acronyms that makes up the Vulniverse! Finding, fixing, and sharing vulnerabilities is a challenge on the easiest of days. Mix in all of the standards, formats, channels, and personalities, it can feel like an insurmountable hill to climb every day. Don’t despair, the Vulniverse Alphabet Soup Guide is here to help make things a little less confusing! Learn about the foundational elements used within Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD) by Product Security & Incident Response Teams (PSIRTs), Security Researchers, Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs), and Corporate Incident Response & Security Teams (CSIRTs) to help describe and communicate information about security vulnerabilities in hardware and software. Learn about how formats such as CVE (Common Vulnerability & Exposures CVE), CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System), Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE), and newer items like Vulnerability EXchange (VEX) all have vital parts to play helping get information and fixes in the hands of software and hardware consumers! After this, YOU’LL be a Vulnerability Babblefish!
