Our team has officially been inducted into the Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD) Hall of Fame of the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). The BSI uses this to recognize organizations that responsibly disclose vulnerabilities to affected vendors and operators – actively improving the security level in Germany.
What the Induction Means
CVD is a structured process in which security researchers disclose vulnerabilities coordinated and confidentially to those responsible – before the details become public. The BSI moderates this process and lists those in its Hall of Fame who have substantially contributed to protecting critical and widely used systems. See our article on the BSI CVD guidelines for background.
Why It Matters to Us
- Responsible action: Disclosure via CVD protects affected parties, rather than handing attackers a roadmap.
- Security for many: Reported and patched vulnerabilities reduce risk across the entire user base.
- Professional culture: The recognition also affirms a team culture in which clean, research-driven work and ethical behavior go hand in hand.
A Thank You to Everyone Involved
Thanks go to our customers and partners for the trust to work deeply and carefully in their environments – and to the BSI for a fair, professional CVD process.
Conclusion
The induction is not an endpoint but a motivation to keep contributing systematically and responsibly to the security of our digital infrastructure. For more on the BSI CVD process, see the BSI website.
