Recent developments have shown that the Trump administration has made a smart decision to extend the contract with MITRE, the organization behind the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) program. This program plays a crucial role in identifying and cataloging cybersecurity vulnerabilities globally, allowing major tech firms to patch them and keep your devices safe.
For instance, vulnerabilities like the memory corruption issue in Apple's CoreAudio audio API are given CVE numbers, making it easier for companies to track and fix them through software upgrades. By ensuring the continuity of the CVE program, the government is taking a proactive step in enhancing the security of phones, tablets, and other connected devices.
