who care about their online privacy and security, can stay secure.
Only a few vendors address Vulnerability in a proper way and help
users get updated and stay secure. End-users (whether private

that is why back in 2002, Secunia Research started investigating,
coordinating disclosure and verifying software Vulnerability.

core of the Software Vulnerability Management products at
