CVE Monitoring Process

New open source security flaws are discovered all the time and can pose serious threats to your embedded systems. That's why we offer the CVE Monitoring Process (CMP) - a complete solution to identify, classify and manage vulnerabilities in your software.

How the CVE Monitoring Process (CMP) protects your business

As cyber threats increase and government cybersecurity requirements tighten, it becomes increasingly important for embedded system providers to have a robust security strategy. To counter threats, systems need to be constantly monitored and adapted to deal with new CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures).

With the CVE Monitoring Process (CMP), we protect your products against known open source vulnerabilities through regular monitoring and rapid response. With ongoing scans and proactive management, Codiax minimises the risk of breaches, attacks or downtime. CMP is an efficient and agile solution for organisations looking to meet modern cybersecurity requirements - without compromising product quality or performance.

The CVE Monitoring Process provides you with:

  • Continuous security: New CVEs are discovered all the time. With our CMP solution, we ensure that you are kept informed of current security threats through regular scans and monitoring, so that your system is always protected.
  • Customised solutions for your system: It can range from simple patches to complex system adjustments required to mitigate vulnerabilities. We customise our solutions to your system's unique needs to ensure maximum protection.
  • Documentation and reporting: Once the measures are taken, the documentation can be extensive and complex. We deliver detailed reports that give you full visibility into the security of your system and make it easy to follow up on audit requirements.
  • Expert support and efficiency: There can often be thousands of CVEs that need to be reviewed, classified and managed. With our many years of experience in the field, we can help you speed up and significantly optimise your CVE management process.

Step by step

How CMP works in practice

We help you identify, assess and address vulnerabilities effectively through a continuous process. This is what the process looks like:

  1. Scanning of CVE database: We periodically scan the public CVE database to identify new or updated CVEs that may affect your system.
  2. Assessment of relevance: We carefully assess the CVEs to determine their relevance to your system, depending on how it is built and configured. This requires system knowledge and specific tools.
  3. Addressing vulnerabilities: Once a relevant CVE has been identified, we take appropriate action to close the vulnerability. This may be by patching a software package, updating its version or redesigning parts of the system so that the vulnerability is no longer relevant.
  4. Documentation and reporting: After the actions are taken, we create a detailed report showing the current status of the system and the actions taken, so that you always have full visibility of the security of your system.

Why is continuous CVE monitoring important?

Cybersecurity is a dynamic challenge, as new vulnerabilities (CVEs) are constantly being discovered and old vulnerabilities updated. To keep your system secure, these changes need to be monitored and managed on an ongoing basis, not just on a one-off occasion. To ensure long-term protection that complies with regulatory requirements and industry standards, we recommend that you perform scans at least once a quarter.

Frequently asked questions

  • How often should I perform a CVE scan?

  • We recommend that you perform a CVE scan at least once a quarter, but in some cases it may need to be done more often depending on the complexity and security requirements of the system.

  • Can Codiax help manage the entire CVE process?

  • Absolutely. Our CMP solution includes carrying out all steps of the process, i.e. continuous scanning, assessment, remediation and documentation.

  • What is needed to get started with CMP?

  • To start the CMP process, we need access to your system documentation, as well as information on the open source packages and versions used in your system (SBOM). We may also need access to the build environment to streamline the assessment and updates.
