Title: Vulnerability Identifiers – primitive technology: How the Global Security Database is going to modernize this
Description:
Learn about the primitive technologies still in use to create and distribute vulnerability identifiers. We’ll explore what the Global Security Database (GSD) is doing to improve and modernize things in the vulnerability identification ecosystem using Open Source tools and principles. We’ll also look at the efforts being made by the GSD to provide an on-ramp for people to join the InfoSec community at different levels of knowledge and engagement.
