@GossiTheDog That's contingent on Defender following the same rules, though...otherwise it's an antitrust minefield. Defender itself isn't always a good citizen and bad definition updates frequently bring down systems.

Help request. My brother has Stage 4 colorectal cancer.

His life insurance has refused to pay out on a technicality, meaning he and his loved ones cannot afford the mortgage on their home.

I've never asked for anything in return for infosec stuff, but if you have anything spare, please chuck it this direction instead:

Beyond CVEs: Mastering the Landscape with Vulnerability-Lookup

We had the pleasure of presenting at FIRST.org 2025, showcasing the Vulnerability-Lookup and GCVE.eu initiatives. Although CVEs are a cornerstone of vulnerability management, they often provide an incomplete view of the security landscape. Vulnerability-Lookup, a new open-source project developed by CIRCL, addresses this limitation by offering a comprehensive and enriched vulnerability intelligence platform that goes beyond basic CVE data. The platform aggregates and correlates information from diverse sources, including exploit databases, vulnerability scanners, product advisories, and community contributions. This integration delivers a more complete picture of vulnerability threats. We demonstrate how this enhanced level of detail empowers security professionals to move beyond simple patch management and adopt proactive, actionable, risk-based strategies.

Curious about the Chinese vulnerability database? It's now included on https://vulnerability-lookup.org!
Big thanks to @rafi0t for the awesome work and the clever LookyLoo import!
