Tags:
security management

Overview TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) program has been in operation since August 15, 2005. Recently, concerns have resurfaced over whether or not 'Paid for' security research is in the best interest of the industry - citing that information surrounding software flaws could wind up in the hands of criminals. The purpose of this paper is to bring light to the intent, process and value of the ZDI program to TippingPoint's customers, legitimate security researchers, software vendors, TippingPoint itself, and the enterprise networking industry at large.
