Amid escalating cyber threats rapidly exploiting new vulnerabilities within the Nation’s Critical Infrastructure, ANALYGENCE, a leader in mission-focused cyber solutions and intelligence services supporting the military, intelligence, and federal civilian communities, was selected by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to support the National Vulnerability Database through vulnerability analysis and scoring services.
The Cybersecurity Analysis and Email Support (CAES) task order awarded on the NIST Cybersecurity and Privacy Support Services (CAPSS) IDIQ will assist the Information Technology Laboratory perform analysis of software identification and characterization data, vulnerability data, configuration checklist and other security-related data in support of the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) and National Checklist Program (NCP). This includes providing vulnerability analysis through the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) , and creation of Online Informative References (OLIR) in support of the Cybersecurity and Privacy Platform (CPP). ANALYGENCE continues to prove its extensive industry leading expertise in vulnerability research and analysis.
ANALYGENCE will help ensure cybersecurity defenses are proactive, targeted, and efficient. The data and metadata structures developed and scored by this effort will provide a foundational layer for various cybersecurity and threat intelligence tools to reference, allowing for quicker adaptation to the latest vulnerabilities and more informed decision-making processes.
“ANALYGENCE’s strategic focus is to enhance National cybersecurity posture: not only by adapting to the current digital threat landscape but also preemptively preparing for future vulnerabilities. We will support NIST and the NVD in its mission to empower cybersecurity professionals by supporting them as the most comprehensive and trusted provider of vulnerability management data,” said Lonnie Parker, CEO of ANALYGENCE.
