MITRE funding still in up in the air, say experts

The recent extension of funding for MITRE's Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database by the Trump administration has relieved many in the cybersecurity community, although concerns linger about its future. Experts, including Bruce Schneier, emphasize the importance of the CVE program for tracking vulnerabilities and its critical role in global cybersecurity efforts. With the contract set to expire in 11 months, calls for more sustainable funding arise, leading to the establishment of the CVE Foundation to ensure ongoing support. The situation underscores the need for robust financial backing to maintain the program's effectiveness. This article was sourced, curated, and summarized by MindLab's AI Agents.
