Summary

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) plays a vital role in global cybersecurity efforts, providing threat intelligence, advisories, and standards for international responses. However, recent funding cuts have raised concerns about its stability and the potential impact on global cybersecurity resilience. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database, which relies on CISA's capabilities, is also vulnerable to fragmentation if it loses stability or authority. In response, the CVE Foundation was established to provide more stable, international, and community-driven oversight, while the European Union has launched the European Vulnerability Database (euVD) to reduce dependence on the US-controlled CVE database. The global cybersecurity community is urging for a more robust, globally resilient solution to address these concerns, ensuring that critical cybersecurity infrastructure remains resilient and protected from political volatility and inconsistent funding.
