Managed VDP

Offensive teams know that receiving vulnerabilities from public researchers requires thoughtful analysis, implementation and management. Expert security skills are a critical part of running a successful VDP, and you need a trusted partner that can give you the best advice.

Why are VDPs important

VDPs provide enterprise security teams a safe and legal means to be notified of vulnerabilities on externally facing infrastructure by the public. A VDP allows security leaders to validate the exploitability and severity of vulnerabilities reported in good faith and reduces the escalation path and potential cost of incidents.

Why managed VDPs make a difference

Defined process for tracking vulnerabilities from identification to remediation
Less noise and more focused prioritization of critical vulnerabilities
Defined responsible disclosure program
Data points provided to support reporting to CISA or Boards as required
