Security Leaders Discuss the New EU Vulnerability Database
Briefly

The European Union has introduced its vulnerability database, the EU Vulnerability Database (EUVD), as a complement to the U.S. MITRE CVE program. The aim is to consolidate various available information from CSIRTs, vendors, and existing databases to improve global cybersecurity efforts. Experts have praised this initiative for reducing reliance on the U.S. National Vulnerability Database and addressing coordination issues. Although challenges exist, such as operational kinks and data overlap, the EUVD offers region-specific insights valuable for companies navigating across international markets, especially in sectors like automotive.
The launch of the EU Vulnerability Database is a win for the global cybersecurity community. It helps address coordination gaps and avoid single points of failure in reporting.
The new EU vulnerability database reduces reliance on the U.S. National Vulnerability Database, providing an alternative source that may contain region-specific data, crucial for global companies.
