FEATURE STORY:

1 Product from TrustSign Now Registered as Officially "CVE-Compatible"

One additional information security product has achieved the final stage of
MITRE's formal CVE Compatibility Process and is now officially
"CVE-Compatible." The product is now eligible to use the CVE-Compatible
Product/Service logo, and a completed and reviewed "CVE Compatibility
Requirements Evaluation" questionnaire is posted for the product as part of
the organization's listing on the CVE-Compatible Products and Services page
on the CVE Web site. A total of 123 products to-date have been recognized as
officially compatible.

The following product is now registered as officially "CVE-Compatible":

TrustSign - Selos de Seguranca

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.
