Websites for managing threats and vulnerabilities

Establishing a list of reliable sources for breast and bone abilities is important for managing them. Below is a list of the sites I like best with a little bit of a description and why I like them. I’ve also included a link to each one so that you can also visit the site and give me your thoughts.

The National Vulnerability Database (NVD), which is a government sponsored database for vulnerability management.  They provide links to additional websites dedicated to threat and vulnerability management.  Having these additional links all in one place is easy.  

I especially like the link the NVD provide to The National Checklist Program.  These lists provide guidance for setting up security configurations to defeat known threats.

Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures provides information about know vulnerabilities and exposures.   This is helpful for the use of vulnerability management, patch management, alerting, and intrusion detection.  

Symantec has two pages that I like for current threats and vulnerabilities.  First is their Threats page, which lists the name, severity, height, and discovery date.   Each threat name has a link that provides additional information about it.

Symantec’s vulnerabilities page, lists the name of the threat, it’s severity, and the date discovered. Each name is hyperlinked to a description page that details the problem, and provides recommendations.
