The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) system is a critical tool for the cybersecurity industry. CVEs provide consistency in naming and clarity on the nature and impact of various vulnerabilities. In this week's Linux Security Podcast, Atomicorp CEO Mike Shinn discusses the origin and management of the CVE process, how it's used by cybersecurity professionals and why it's so important. He also discusses how vulnerability management systems are perpetually hobbled by the limitations of the CVE system.
