House Subcommittee Urges Widespread Adoption of Cyber Vulnerability Programs

Widespread adoption of coordinated disclosure programs would help prevent cybersecurity incidents, the House Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee reported Friday. Drawing from dozens of briefings, hearings and materials, wide-ranging recommendations include coordinated disclosure programs, software bills of materials across connected tech and knowing how tech is supported, strengthening public-private partnerships, supporting open-source software and a healthy vulnerabilities and exposure program. "Pursuing any one concept-priority pair in isolation will undoubtedly improve society’s overall cybersecurity to some degree, but the Subcommittee’s work over the past several years has shown that each concept-priority pair feeds off and builds upon its fellows," it said.
