Common Security Advisory Framework (CSAF) Is The Future Of Vulnerability Management
DARKReading, December 14th, 2022
Version 2.0 of the Common Security Advisory Framework will enable organizations to automate vulnerability remediation.
Today, nearly every party that issues security advisories uses its own format and structure. Plus, most security advisories are only human-readable, not machine-readable.
System administrators have to read each advisory, determine if they use the products and versions listed, and evaluate the potential risk and existing mitigations. Based on their system's exposure and the business value, they make a decision about if and when to patch.
