Help Net Security interviewed Art Manion, Tharros, FIRST Liaison Member, FIRST VRDX-SIG Chair, CVE Board Member, CVE SPWG Chair, on why vulnerability databases keep failing us, and what the community needs to do about it.
Highlights:
- Stop treating this as a data problem, it's first an architecture problem
- There is no minimum set of assertions that can confirm two systems describe the same vulnerability
- CVSS scores are pulling attention away from the harder work of real risk assessment
- 50%+ of vendor names in NVD's CPE data have naming inconsistencies, if you can't identify the product, nothing else matters
- Before writing new specs or building new tools, the community needs shared terms and principles
This research is part of ongoing collaborative work with Jay Jacobs, Co-Founder & Data Scientist, Empirical Security, FIRST EPSS-SIG Co-Chair, CVE Consumer WG Chair.
Catch Art and Jay live at #VulnCon26: 'A Paradigm Shift in Vulnerability Identity: Why Vulnerability Databases Struggle' — April 14, 1:30–2:30 PM MST.

What if the key to better vulnerability management isn't just patching faster, but understanding why vulnerabilities keep coming back? 🔍
Help Net Security connected with #VulnCon26 speaker Alec Summers, MITRE CVE/CWE Project Lead, Principal Cybersecurity Engineer, and FIRST Member, to explore how CWE mapping is becoming a strategic layer of the vulnerability management stack.
🎤 Catch Alec's upcoming presentations at VulnCon26 next week and read the full Q&A here: https://go.first.org/BZzAf

As you may know, Africa is big. The continent comprises 54 countries with extensive linguistic, cultural, and political variation. This can make it difficult to create communities of practise and enable the type of information sharing that are seen in other parts of the world.
In the past two years, the FIRST Africa Regional Liaison (ARL) initiative has directly supported 1,210 cybersecurity professionals, delivered more than 50 targeted initiatives across 33 countries, and maintained sustained engagement with at least 70 Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs).
Lawrence Mulchiwa and Eric Akumiah are FIRST's Africa Liaisons and they have told their story in a blog. And it's a big story for a big place.
