CVE Numbering Authorities (CNAs)

CVE Numbering Authorities (CNAs) are organizations authorized to assign unique identifiers, known as CVE IDs, to security vulnerabilities in software or hardware. This system helps standardize references to vulnerabilities, making it easier for developers, security professionals, and the public to track and address them. When a CNA identifies a vulnerability, it assigns a CVE ID, ensuring that everyone can easily understand and discuss the issue without confusion. CNAs play a crucial role in maintaining cybersecurity by promoting transparency and communication about potential threats.
