THE GROWING CHALLENGE OF PRODUCT SECURITY

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) published a “Product Security Bad Practices” guidance in January 2025, warning that including open source software (OSS) with known vulnerabilities or failing to patch new ones poses significant cyber risks for software manufacturers.

Cyber threats are growing in volume and sophistication, targeting not only enterprise systems but also Linux and OSS components at the heart of modern software stacks.

Yet many organizations still face:
Limited resources to patch every CVE
Selective updates or long-standing unresolved vulnerabilities
Release delays caused by unexpected CVE discoveries

THE MONTAVISTA’S APPROACH

At MontaVista, we believe CVE management isn’t about zero CVEs—it’s about applying the right fixes at the right time.

MontaVista’s CGX Linux gives you a structured, carrier-grade foundation to proactively address vulnerabilities, prioritize effectively, and maintain trust in your systems over the long haul.

Our MVSecure services, combined with CGX Linux, create a unified solution that helps you:

Prioritize and assess CVEs relevant to your product

SStay compliant with security and regulatory standards
