In an age where digital systems have an electronic tendril in nearly every aspect of our lives, the role of cybersecurity researchers is more important than ever. The Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) “See Something, Say Something” campaign is a cornerstone of public safety in the physical world, but the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) sees these principles as being just as important in the online world. Information security researchers act as the digital equivalents of observant citizens, uncovering flaws in systems that could otherwise be exploited by criminals and foreign threat actors. This Oct. 23 CISA blog outlines the ideal process for a typical coordinated vulnerability disclosure and tips for ensuring clear communications during a crisis. It encourages public entities and critical infrastructure owners to engage with security researchers and foster a culture of collaboration for vulnerability reporting.
