Catherine Nelson, security analyst with Cisco’s Security Intelligence team, which manages the site, said Cisco is helping to pioneer this vendor-neutral standard for rating security threats.<\/p>\n
“We feel like it helps to streamline security information across the board to our customers — across products and across platforms,” Nelson said.<\/p>\n
Nelson said the site is continuously updated by a team of Cisco security analysts who monitor the threat landscape for threats to thousands of products, gleaning information from numerous public and private sources.<\/p>\n
Nelson predicted it typically takes between 60 and 90 minutes to go from threat identification to posted alert on the site.<\/p>\n
