Description
In September 2015, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) convened a multi-stakeholder process to investigate software vulnerability disclosure and handling practices. The process was open to any interested participant and included members from business, government, and civil society. Members organized into three working groups to study diferent aspects of vulnerability disclosure and handling. This report is a product of the “Awareness and Adoption Working Group,” which focused on increasing understanding and use of best practices.
