Abstract

Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for cybersecurity vulnerability management. One of the methods includes receiving a vulnerability report indicating a cybersecurity vulnerability by a blockchain network. The blockchain network provides access to the vulnerability report to an administration server. A vulnerability verification report indicating a verification of the cybersecurity vulnerability from the administration server is received by the blockchain network. The blockchain network stores information of the cybersecurity vulnerability into a vulnerability record that is stored on the blockchain network. The blockchain network provides access to the vulnerability record to a service provider, and receives a notification indicating a resolution to the cybersecurity vulnerability from the service provider.
