A new community-driven, European-headquartered alternative to the US-led Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) program has been welcome by security experts. The open source Global Cybersecurity Vulnerability Enumeration (GCVE) initiative brings together vulnerability information from over 25 public sources. These include GCVE Numbering Authorities (GNAs), which are able to allocate and publish vulnerability identifiers independently. “By enabling GNAs and other publishers to contribute data independently, while still benefiting from global correlation, GCVE aims to reduce single points of failure and foster innovation in vulnerability management,” the GCVE said.
