Because vulnerability management has nothing to do with national security, right?

We as a society need to start defining our damn acronyms. Stop assuming everyone knows what every acronym is, because they do not.

[–] LengAwaits@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Lucky for you the linked article explains the acronym!

Wait, you're not one of those people who only reads headlines, are you?

"I would have, but you died"? :D

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I would have been your daddy...

It's an old Halo CE reference that gets shortened to that acronym a lot.

Yeah, like several other people on the internet I'm not American, so I have no idea what this is about.

[–] digdilem@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 month ago

I'm not American, but CVE's absolutely form the cornerstone of IT security, and are the trusted keystone of industry security globally.

GCVE is more confusing if anything

okay, but pretty much anyone in software knows what CVE means, and anyone outside of software doesn’t need to know what CVE means… it’s almost as common in the professional context as CPU

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Yup. If you touch anything related to security, you know what a CVE is.

CPU = Chief Party Unicorn
