Happy New Year! As we usher in a year with some pleasant mathematical properties, I wanted to take a brief look back at one of the stories that was most interesting to me as a security data nerd from last year: our dependency on the National Institute of Standards and Technologies’s (NIST) National Vulnerability Database(NVD), and what the degradation in service has meant to the flow of information about new CVEs. TL:DR.

If you need to reach PCI DSS 4.0 compliance, GitGuardian has solutions that can help.

Digital fingerprinting refers to the process of identifying and profiling a device, system, or user based on a collection of unique characteristics and behaviors emitted during their interaction with a network or digital environment.
