National Vulnerability Database (NVD)

The National Vulnerability Database (NVD) is a comprehensive online resource maintained by the U.S. government that catalogs security vulnerabilities in software and hardware. It provides detailed information about these vulnerabilities, including their potential impact, how they can be exploited, and recommended fixes. The NVD is widely used by security professionals, developers, and organizations to identify and address security risks in their systems, helping to protect sensitive information and maintain cybersecurity. By keeping track of known vulnerabilities, the NVD plays a crucial role in enhancing overall digital security.
