The UK's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) is enhancing its vulnerability research by forming the Vulnerability Research Initiative (VRI) with external partners. This initiative expands existing collaborations with government, technology companies, and the public to identify security flaws and provide safety advice. The VRI aims to enrich the UK's capabilities in vulnerability research through specialist cybersecurity expertise. Key stakeholders in the VRI include technical experts and project managers, although the details of external partners involved remain unspecified. Some industry experts express skepticism while others see the initiative as a proactive move towards improved cybersecurity.
The VRI's mission is to strengthen the UK's ability to carry out VR. We work with the best external vulnerability researchers to deliver deep understanding of security on a wide range of technologies.
Kev Breen, senior director of cyber threat research at Immersive, welcomed the decision as a proactive step to identifying and tackling security threats.
