Welcome back to the second part of our blog where we are breaking all the common myths and misconceptions about the Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure Program (CVD).
Myth #4: “CVD Programs generate too much noise, making it hard to prioritize real issues”.
Reality Check: With a structured triage system, CVD programs bring clarity, not chaos, to vulnerability management.
The fear here is understandable: What if a flood of minor issues bogs down your team? But the good news is that a managed CVD program, like the one offered by Zerocopter, actually filters out invalid reports so your team only sees the real threats.
At Zerocopter, our expert triage team reviews, validates, and prioritizes reports. This prevents your inbox from filling up with issues that might not be worth your time, so you can focus on what matters.
Myth #5: “A CVD program will add more work and slow down my team”.
Reality Check: CVD actually streamlines your security workflow, giving you fewer surprises and helping you focus on fixes.
Another misconception is that a CVD program will eat up your team’s time. In reality, CVD programs are designed to reduce the load on your security team. Vulnerabilities get reported and triaged before they’re handed off to your team, ensuring that you’re not blindsided by unexpected issues.
Plus, in some cases, hackers provide suggestions for fixing the problem. This is more common in Bug Bounty programs, but it can also happen in CVD programs. When hackers know you’re responsive and open to dialogue, many are willing to offer help in resolving issues. Additionally, you can leverage support from our triage team or even hire a hacker for advice through our Dedicated Hacker Time.
Myth #6: “Only security teams benefit from CVD programs”.
Reality Check: CVD can benefit your entire organization – from brand reputation to client trust. Your clients and partners care about security too.
When you’re proactive about vulnerability disclosure, you’re sending a message: We take your data seriously. Implementing a CVD program shows that you prioritize security and transparency. It’s a simple, effective way to build trust with your customers, partners, and stakeholders.
In today’s market, trust and transparency are huge assets, especially when it comes to protecting sensitive information. And with a CVD program, you’re not just addressing vulnerabilities—you’re strengthening the foundations of your organization.
So, let’s put these myths to rest. A CVD program is an approachable and effective solution, and when managed right, it can be one of your best defenses against possible cyber threats.
