The European Union of Computer Safety Agency (Enisa) has developed a new database that collects information relating to the vulnerabilities of IT systems. The goal is to strengthen the level of cybersicity in all EU states: how it works.
From today theEuropean Vulnerability Database (EUVD)a database that collects and provides reliable and updated information on Vulnerability in IT security which may affect the products and services of information and communication technologies. The Vulnerability of IT systems These are weaknesses or flaws present in software, hardware or networks that can be exploited by any hackers or attackers to compromise the safety of a system. In essence, they can be imagined how some “Open doors” inside an IT system who expose him to external threats.
This new tool was developed byEuropean Union Agency for IT security (Enisa) Based on the provisions of the NIS2 Directive, a European legislation aims to increase the level of computer security. The strategy of the Euoropea Union is clear: to standardize the policies on computer security in all the countries of the European Union. Juhan Lepassaarexecutive director of Enisa, called him “one essential tool designed to substantially improve the management of vulnerability and risks associated with them “within the EU.
How the new database works
The goal of this platform It is to create an interconnected space that collects information from multiple sources, such as CSIRT (Computer Security Incident Response Team), existing suppliers and databases, so as to allow “a better management of IT security risk“. Among other things, the Italian CSIRT portal is an excellent space to consult to understand what are the computer scams in the circle.

Who can use it
The Enisa website explains that The database is accessible to the public “To consult information relating to vulnerabilities that affect products and IT services”. But it is a tool also designed to be consulted by Bodies and organizations who move in information and communication technologies, such as network systems suppliers, national authorities such as CSIRT, researchers and private companies.
“It is an important step towards the strengthening of safety and the resilience of Europe “he said Henna Virkkunenexecutive vice -president of the European Commission for technological sovereignty, security and democracy. “By bringing together information on the relevant vulnerabilities for the EU market, we are By increasing computer security standardsallowing the interested parties of the private and public sector to better protect our digital spaces shared with greater efficiency and autonomy “.
