Integrated Control Technology Ltd (ICT®), a global manufacturer of intelligent access control and security solutions, announced it has been authorized by the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) Program as a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA), becoming the second New Zealand organization to be accepted into the program.

The mission of the CVE program is to identify, define, and catalog publicly disclosed cybersecurity vulnerabilities. This aligns with ICT’s commitment to providing customers with the tools and resources needed to harden systems against the latest cybersecurity threats.

Information about cybersecurity threats

Vulnerabilities that are discovered are assigned and published to the CVE List. CVE Records published in the catalog enable program stakeholders to rapidly discover and correlate vulnerability information used to protect systems against attacks.

Daniel Tolcher, IT & Cybersecurity Manager for ICT, said, “At ICT we’re dedicated to providing our customers with the information needed to protect against the latest cybersecurity threats, ensuring their systems are always kept up to date."
