CVE Futures: Evolving Vulnerability Management for Public Cyber Health

In his blog post "CVE Futures," Adam Shostack explores the evolving role of the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) system in the context of modern cybersecurity challenges. He emphasizes the need to enhance the CVE program to better support public health-oriented cybersecurity strategies. Shostack suggests that the CVE system should not only catalog vulnerabilities but also provide actionable insights that can inform risk assessments and mitigation strategies. By doing so, the CVE program can serve as a more effective tool for organizations aiming to improve their cybersecurity posture and resilience against emerging threats.

OWASP SAMM Skills Framework Enhances Software Security Roles

The OWASP SAMM Skills Framework, introduced on February 9, 2025, is a new initiative donated by Siemens to enhance software security practices within organizations. This framework assigns specific responsibilities to SAMM (Software Assurance Maturity Model) streams, clarifying which roles are involved in advancing each stream. It provides guidance on the necessary skills and training for each role, aligning SAMM-related activities with appropriate stakeholders and their required competencies. This alignment helps organizations identify the right personnel and visualize shared responsibilities, ensuring a structured approach to secure product development. Implementing the OWASP SAMM Skills Framework involves several key steps. Organizations must first map responsibilities to roles, ensuring each task is assigned to the right individual. Next, they must evaluate and align stakeholders with specific SAMM streams, validating that those assigned understand and accept their roles in advanci...
