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.

products and services listed, visit the CVE Compatibility Process and

HOT TOPIC:

CVE Mentioned in U.S. Department of Homeland Security's "Blueprint for a
Secure Cyber Future"

CVE is mentioned in the December 12, 2011 release of the Department of
Homeland Security's "Blueprint for a Secure Cyber Future: The Cybersecurity
Strategy for the Homeland Security Enterprise" on the DHS Web site.

The blueprint, as described on the DHS blog, "outlines an integrated
approach to enable the homeland security community to leverage existing
capabilities and promote technological advances that make government, the
private sector and the public safer, more secure, and more resilient online.
Specific actions outlined in the strategy range from hardening critical
networks and prosecuting cybercrime to raising public awareness and training
a national cybersecurity workforce. Cybersecurity is a shared
responsibility, and each of us has a role to play. In today's interconnected
world, emerging cyber threats require the engagement of our entire society
including government and law enforcement, the private sector, and members of
the public. In preparing this strategy, the Department benefited from the
constructive engagement of representatives from state and local governments,
industry, academia, non-governmental organizations, and many dedicated
individuals from across the country. As we implement this strategy, DHS will
continue to work with partners across the homeland security enterprise to
implement the goals outlined in the Blueprint."

CVE is mentioned in the blueprint itself as one of two "Core capabilities
for the homeland security enterprise in the "Increase Technical and Policy
Interoperability Across Devices" subsection of the "Build Collaborative
Communities" section of the blueprint, as follows: "On a device-to-device
level, strengthen collaboration, create new intelligence, hasten learning,
and improve situational awareness ... A proven ability to communicate about
cyber incidents through standardized dictionaries of key informational
elements, including software vulnerabilities, weaknesses, patterns of
attack, and malware classification as well as security content that is
structured for automated sharing where appropriate. Resources include the
National Vulnerability Database, Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE),
and the Information Assurance Checklists housed on the National Checklist
Program."

The blueprint is available for free download at
http://www.dhs.gov/files/publications/blueprint-for-a-secure-cyber-future.sh
tm.
