Request for Information (RFI) on Modernizing the National Vulnerability Database in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) established and operates the National Vulnerability Database (NVD), which provides the U.S. government repository of standards-based vulnerability management data. NIST seeks stakeholder input on opportunities, challenges, and priorities for modernizing the NVD in an evolving cybersecurity landscape increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine-consumable security data. NIST's goal is to improve the NVD's scalability, automation, interoperability, transparency, and utility.
