Sans. OpenStack Security Notes in Launchpad. Vulnerability Management. The OpenStack vulnerability management team (VMT) is responsible for coordinating the progressive disclosure of a vulnerability.

Vulnerability Management

Members of the team are independent and security-minded folks who ensure that vulnerabilities are dealt with in a timely manner and that downstream stakeholders are notified in a coordinated and fair manner. Where a member of the team is employed by a downstream stakeholder, the member does not give their employer prior notice of any vulnerabilities. In order to reduce the disclosure of vulnerability in the early stages, membership of this team is intentionally limited to a small number of people. Supported versions. Configuration management database. A Configuration Management Database (CMDB) is an ITIL database used by an organization to store information about hardware and software assets (commonly referred to as Configuration Items [CI]).

Configuration management database

This database acts as a data warehouse for the organization and also stores information regarding the relationships among its assets.[1] The CMDB provides a means of understanding the organization's critical assets and their relationships, such as information systems, upstream sources or dependencies of assets, and the downstream targets of assets.[2] Purpose and benefits[edit] CMDB implementations often involve federation – the inclusion of data into the CMDB from other sources – such as asset management, in such a way that the source of the data retains control of the data.
