How to Reduce CVE Noise with VEX - Vulnerability-Exploitability eXchange
CNCF [Cloud Native Computing Foundation] via YouTube
Overview
Explore the concept of VEX (Vulnerability-Exploitability eXchange) and its potential to revolutionize CVE management in this informative conference talk. Learn how VEX can significantly reduce CVE noise and improve vulnerability assessment processes for both small development teams and large-scale vulnerability management programs. Discover the integration of VEX with SBOMs (Software Bill of Materials) and its role in enhancing Zero Trust infrastructure. Gain insights into using VEX as a consumer to better determine vulnerability risks and mitigation strategies, as well as its application for vendors in effectively communicating actionable information to customers. Delve into topics such as software build materials, modeling gaps, mapping, policies, workflows, and the challenges associated with SBOMs. Examine the role of open-source in VEX implementation and understand the structure of VEX documents. Conclude with a discussion on duplicate CVEs and the broader implications of VEX in the cybersecurity landscape.
