FEATURE STORY:

Five Products and Services from Four Organizations Now Registered as
Officially "CVE-Compatible"

Five additional information security products and services have achieved the
final stage of MITRE's formal CVE Compatibility Process and are now
officially "CVE-Compatible." The products and services are now eligible to
use the CVE-Compatible Product/Service logo, and a completed and reviewed
"CVE Compatibility Requirements Evaluation" questionnaire is posted for each
product as part of the organization's listing on the CVE-Compatible Products
and Services page on the CVE Web site. A total of 108 products to-date have
been recognized as officially compatible.

The following products are now registered as officially "CVE-Compatible":

* Rapid7 LLC - Metasploit Express
- Metasploit Pro

* InfoSec Technology Co., Ltd. - TESS TMS (Threats Management System)

* Lexsi - CSI Vulnerability Database

* Beijing Venustech Security Inc. - Venusense Threat Detection and
Intelligent Analysis System

Use of the official CVE-Compatible logo will allow system administrators and
other security professionals to look for the logo when adopting
vulnerability management products and services for their enterprises and the
compatibility process questionnaire will help end-users compare how
different products and services satisfy the CVE compatibility requirements,
and therefore which specific implementations are best for their networks and
systems.

For additional information about CVE compatibility and to review all
products and services listed, visit the CVE Compatibility Process and
CVE-Compatible Products and Services.
