Summary

Many organizations recognize the value and benefits of a Vulnerability Disclosure Program (VDP), but not having one can lead to severe consequences such as missed opportunities for security improvements, damage to customer trust, and increased financial losses due to undetected vulnerabilities. Without a VDP, an organization's lack of transparency in reporting vulnerabilities can harm its reputation and make it more difficult to build trust with customers and stakeholders. On the other hand, implementing a well-structured VDP can help organizations improve their security posture, enhance customer relationships, and demonstrate a commitment to responsible disclosure practices.
