EUVD: A Step Towards Strengthening Europe's Cybersecurity Sovereignty
The European Vulnerability Database (EUVD), launched in May 2025, aims to enhance Europe’s cybersecurity sovereignty by cataloging software vulnerabilities, complementing the U.S. National Vulnerability Database amid its operational challenges. It is supported by the NIS2 directive and the Cyber Resilience Act, which require manufacturers to disclose vulnerabilities, thus promoting transparency and security in digital products. While the EUVD is robust for Windows, its Linux coverage needs improvement, presenting opportunities for the open-source community. This initiative marks a significant step for Europe in strengthening cybersecurity and fostering resilience in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
