Coordinated Cyber Defense: Inside Vulnerability Disclosure Programs (VDP)

This podcast dives into the critical world of vulnerability disclosure programs (VDPs), exploring how organizations and security researchers work together to identify and address security weaknesses. We'll examine the core principles that underpin effective VDPs, including establishing clear reporting channels and defined scopes, the importance of timely responses and good-faith engagement, and the crucial role of safe harbor provisions. We'll also delve into modern best practices such as automation in triage, integration with security workflows, adherence to coordinated vulnerability disclosure (CVD) norms, and the benefits of transparency in building community trust. Join us to understand how VDPs are becoming a strategic necessity for cyber resilience, fostering a collaborative security ecosystem.
