Milestone Systems has partnered with the Common Vulnerability and Exposures (CVE) Program as a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA).

The aim of the program is to find, describe and catalog known cybersecurity issues. Organizations worldwide, working with the program, find and share these vulnerabilities. They publish CVE Records with clear details about the issues to help IT and cybersecurity experts talk about the same problem and work together to fix it.

Thomas Jensen, CEO of Milestone Systems said, “As a CVE Program partner, we will now publish mitigated vulnerabilities to the wider community, which will allow Milestone to coordinate and address potential issues even more effectively. This will further enhance our cybersecurity and continue to build trust in our XProtect open platform video management software.”

Jensen continued, “The big-picture advantage for the wider industry is that initiatives like this strengthen trustworthiness, which is becoming more and more important. Citizens and other stakeholders increasingly expect companies to be more transparent. In the future, companies in our industry will need to prioritize responsible practices to succeed in the market. Proof points that demonstrate such practices will become a greater feature in the security industry and procurement processes. The CVE Program provides such proof points.”

Cybersecurity vulnerabilities will continue to be reported via Milestone’s website. The registration will now be under CVE ID numbers and vulnerabilities and mitigations will be accessible through Milestone’s profile on the CVE website, as well as on its website.

“The most important thing for integrators and dealers to know is that there will now be an extra source of information about product vulnerabilities,” Jensen said. “The information will be available through various tools that use the CVE database. This ensures that Milestone partners can easily integrate this data into their systems for better vulnerability management.”
