On July 8, Forward Defense Nonresident Senior Fellow Todd Rosenblum wrote an op-ed for the Hill titled “What to do with cyber vulnerabilities?” In the article, Rosenblum discusses the Vulnerabilities Equities Process (VEP), the US government’s process for determining whether or not to reveal unknown cyber vulnerabilities to companies, and how this approach should be improved.
The VEP is a strong starting point, but it needs to be improved if we are to counter the prolonged cyberattacks on Americans and the homeland.
Forward Defense leads the Atlantic Council’s US and global defense programming, developing actionable recommendations for the United States and its allies and partners to compete, innovate, and navigate the rapidly evolving character of warfare. Through its work on US defense policy and force design, the military applications of advanced technology, space security, strategic deterrence, and defense industrial revitalization, it informs the strategies, policies, and capabilities that the United States will need to deter, and, if necessary, prevail in major-power conflict.
