CISA Remediates 870 Vulnerabilities in 2023

In its second annual report on the Vulnerability Disclosure Policy (VDP) Platform, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) revealed substantial progress in addressing vulnerabilities across federal agencies. The platform, which was launched in 2021 to organize the intake of bug reports from researchers, triaged over 7,000 submissions in 2023 from 51 federal agencies. As the platform expanded, with 11 new agencies joining in 2023, the number of vulnerability submissions increased significantly, leading to a sharp rise in identified and remediated vulnerabilities. In total, the platform reviewed 7,058 submissions, identified 1,094 valid disclosures, and remediated 872 vulnerabilities. The number of critical vulnerabilities reported also increased, reaching 250 in 2023.

CISA emphasized the efficiency of the VDP platform, highlighting that it provides federal agencies with significant cost and time savings. By centralizing the management of vulnerability disclosures, the platform reduces the need for agencies to handle the labor-intensive process of triaging reports, communicating with researchers, and collecting metrics. Agencies participating in the VDP can validate vulnerability submissions two days faster than those that do not, and on average, they save about $4.45 million in remediation costs. This allows agencies to prioritize and focus resources on more pressing issues.

The VDP platform offers an essential layer of protection for federal agencies, many of which face large attack surfaces and the challenge of securing sensitive data while operating with limited resources. By leveraging VDP, CISA mitigates some of the risks these agencies face, particularly in the context of cybersecurity threats. The platform’s organized approach to handling vulnerability disclosures ensures that the issues are addressed quickly and efficiently, ultimately helping to reduce the overall risk of cyberattacks on federal agencies.

Through its work with the VDP, CISA is also gaining valuable insights into trends related to vulnerabilities and cybersecurity threats across federal agencies. These insights help improve the overall security posture of the agencies involved, as well as inform broader efforts to enhance cybersecurity practices across the federal government. The platform’s success in its second year reflects the growing collaboration between CISA, federal agencies, and the cybersecurity research community, all working together to improve the nation’s defense against emerging threats.
