Title: CISA Extends Funding To Ensure 'No Lapse in Critical CVE Services'
Link: https://it.slashdot.org/story/25/04/16/144125...
CISA says the U.S. government has extended funding to ensure no continuity
issues with the critical Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) program.
From a report: "The CVE Program is invaluable to cyber community and a
priority of CISA," the U.S. cybersecurity agency told BleepingComputer. "Last
night, CISA executed the option period on the contract to ensure there will
be no lapse in critical CVE services. We appreciate our partners' and
stakeholders' patience." The announcement follows a warning from MITRE Vice
President Yosry Barsoum that government funding for the CVE and CWE programs
was set to expire today, April 16, potentially leading to widespread
disruption across the cybersecurity industry. "If a break in service were to
occur, we anticipate multiple impacts to CVE, including deterioration of
national vulnerability databases and advisories, tool vendors, incident
response operations, and all manner of critical infrastructure," Barsoum
said.
