SCHUTZWERK GmbH – Partnering with the CVE Program for Stronger Cybersecurity

We are pleased to announce that SCHUTZWERK GmbH has been authorized as a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA) by the CVE Program. This makes us one of the few German partners in the CVE Program. From now on, we can assign CVE numbers to vulnerabilities discovered by our employees and customers.

Strengthening Global Cybersecurity Efforts

In our work for clients, we frequently discover vulnerabilities through penetration tests and red teaming assessments , that also affect others. Where suitable we publish vulnerabilities via our responsible disclosure process . Through our cooperation with the CVE Program, we can publish security advisories more quickly and make these vulnerabilities accessible to the global community.

The Importance of CVE Records

With our responsible disclosure process, we support the mission of the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE®) Program: identifying, defining, and cataloging publicly known security vulnerabilities. The CVE Records published in the CVE List provide standardized descriptions of vulnerabilities, ensuring that IT and security professionals address the same issues.

As a CNA, SCHUTZWERK takes on the following responsibilities:

  • Assigning CVE numbers to newly discovered vulnerabilities within our scope
  • Creating and publishing information about these vulnerabilities in CVE Records
  • Contributing to the overarching mission of cybersecurity through increased transparency and standardized vulnerability identification

About the CVE Program

We are excited to be part of the CVE Program and to actively contribute to global IT security.
