UK launches vulnerability research program for external experts www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/secu…

UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has announced a new Vulnerability Research Initiative (VRI) that aims to strengthen relations with external cybersecurity experts.

The agency already conducts internal vulnerability research on a wide range of technologies and will continue to do so. However, the launch of VRI will create a parallel program designed to improve discovery and sharing of critical insights with the community more expeditiously.

The NCSC is the UK’s cybersecurity authority, tasked to protect from cyber threats targeting the country’s critical infrastructure, government, businesses, and citizens.
