Your organisation, like all others, relies on software vulnerabilities being reported as quickly as they are found, and fixed as fast as possible.

Encouraging and protecting researchers in one country is simply not enough.  This is a global issue that requires a global response.

As a member of the GFCRC, you can help strengthen Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD) and Safe Harbour rules, helping the current and next generations of cybersecurity researchers do their jobs more easily, and ensure that vulnerability treatment has a surer footing.

Membership allows you to

• Encourage and protect good faith cybersecurity researchers working to protect society and the dependability of technological systems,
• Network and collaborate with peers in the researcher community, and with like-minded individuals with shared values and a common goal,
• Contribute to and access information materials and publications, including good practices, ethical norms, and legal proposals,
• Participate in trust forums and frank discussion with peers on the topic of vulnerability treatment,
• Attend and present at conferences, online information sessions, working groups, and regular briefing calls,
• Support academic researchers focused on policy and technological issues in different jurisdictions and engage in research activities,
• Mentor newcomers to the cybersecurity researcher community,
• Leverage the GFCRC community’s wealth of technological and policy expertise, and most importantly,
• Benefit from a global, multidisciplinary, multi-stakeholder community’s unified voice in seeking policy reform and improving vulnerability research and disclosure.
