National Vulnerability Database (NVD)
The Heart of U.S. Vulnerability Information Network
Website
This API is best for retrieving secure and standardized vulnerability information data feed.
Using the NVD API, developers can quickly and easily access vulnerability and security data in a reliable and standardized way. This API can be used to quickly access and display important information such as the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) and National Checklist Program (NCP) data. Developers can also use the API to detect potential security issues via analytics and reporting.
Key features
- Provides access to up-to-date and standardized vulnerability and security information.
Potential use cases
- Vulnerability Scanning: Developers can create an automated vulnerability scanning system that uses the NVD API to quickly identify and report on potential security issues.
- Vulnerability Reporting: Developers can create a vulnerability reporting system that uses the NVD API to quickly generate reports on vulnerabilities and identify solutions.
- Security Encyclopedia: Developers can create a security encyclopedia that uses the NVD API to quickly look up and provide detailed information on common security vulnerabilities.
Using the NVD API, we have been able to quickly identify and mitigate potential security vulnerabilities affecting our system. We have also been able to improve our security culture by having up-to-date security information available for our team members to access easily. Highly recommend!
