FEATURE STORY:

1 Product from NGS Software 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 133 products to-date have been recognized as
officially compatible.

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

* NGS Software - NGS SQuirreL for Oracle

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.

UPCOMING EVENT:

ICS-CERT Added as a CVE Numbering Authority

Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team (ICS-CERT) is now
listed as a third-party coordinator on the CVE Numbering Authority (CNA)
page. CNAs are organizations that distribute CVE-ID numbers to researchers
and information technology vendors for inclusion in first-time public
announcements of new vulnerabilities, without directly involving MITRE in
the details of the specific vulnerabilities.

Learn more about CNAs, including an introduction to CVE-ID reservation, role
and requirements of CNAs, vendor liaisons, researcher responsibilities, and
the process for requesting CVE-ID numbers, on the CVE Numbering Authority
(CNA) page in the CVE List section.
