National Vulnerability Database

The National Vulnerability Database (NVD) is a comprehensive online resource maintained by the U.S. government that catalogues known security weaknesses in software and hardware. It provides detailed information about vulnerabilities, including how they can be exploited and potential fixes. Organizations use the NVD to stay informed about security risks, prioritize patches, and improve their cybersecurity defenses. Essentially, it acts as a centralized library of identified vulnerabilities, helping users understand and respond to potential threats in their digital systems.
