The Council of Roots

Learn how CVE Numbering Authority (CNA) partners—ranging from large to small organizations, proprietary and open-source products or projects, disparate business sectors, and different geographic locations—are overseen and supported within the CVE Program by “Top-Level Roots” and “Roots.” Topics include the roles and responsibilities of the two different types of Roots; how their work benefits the CNAs under their care; how they recruit new CNA partners, including suggestions for addressing upper management concerns if a CNA prospect organization is hesitant to partner as a CNA; how they work with and support their CNAs over time; how the “Council of Roots” works together to enhance and help improve the program overall; and much more. All current CVE Program Top-Level Roots and Roots are represented in this podcast.

In addition to host Shannon Sabens of CrowdStrike, speakers include Julia Turkevich of the CISA Top-Level Root and CISA ICS Root, Dave Morse of the MITRE Top-Level Root, Cristian Cadenas Sarmiento of the INCIBE Root, Paul Dev of the Google Root, Tomo Ito of the JPCERT/CC Root, and Yogesh Mittal of the Red Hat Root.
