CVE Program Celebrates 25th Anniversary, Demonstrates Resilience

In 1999, Dave Mann and Steve Christey, two researchers from the non-profit organization MITRE, introduced a concept for security vulnerabilities that laid the foundation for the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) framework. This program, which assigns a unique record to each reported vulnerability, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. Despite challenges, the CVE program, a public-private partnership, has shown its resilience.
