Join the Ubuntu Security Research Alliance Program
Apply to join Ubuntu’s new partnership program for vulnerability scanning organizations
Canonical recently announced its new Ubuntu Security Research Alliance Program, a free partnership between Canonical and open source vulnerability scanning organizations. This new partnership program will allow Ubuntu and invited security organizations to ensure vulnerability data is more transparent and standardized, while improving on-platform security for Ubuntu users through more proactive threat detection.
All organizations who operate or develop security scanning products are welcome to submit their interest to join.
The new Ubuntu Security Research Alliance Program will directly benefit joint customers of Ubuntu and security scanning products by:
- Providing security products easy access to accurate information about vulnerabilities and available fixes for all packages in Ubuntu
- Giving security scanning results correct reporting on all Ubuntu products
- Allowing security scanner operators to reduce false positives and provide users with more actionable recommendations regarding CVE remediation steps.
- Giving security research alliance partners early access to Ubuntu’s future roadmaps for any changes in tools and processes that could accompany future releases.
The Ubuntu Security Research Alliance Program has already attracted several large security scanner operators as new partners, including Tenable and Black Duck, and invites interested security organizations to apply to join.
