90 Seconds of Security: What is Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS)

CVSS is an open framework for communicating the characteristics and severity of software vulnerabilities. Learn how a vulnerability gets scored by using the Base, Temporal, and Environmental metric groups. #CVSS helps organizations determine what’s the risk and what vulnerability do I patch first?!? F5 SIRT (https://f5.com/sirt) can also help if you have exposed vulnerabilities being exploited.


90 Seconds of Security: What is Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures (CVE)

Understand what happens when a potential security vulnerability or exposure is reported, how it’s assigned a CVE ID by a CVE Numbering Authority and how they describe vulnerabilities. And if you're under attack, contact F5 SIRT: f5.com/sirt
