The National Cybersecurity Federally Funded Research and Development Center (NCF), managed by The MITRE Corporation, is a research center dedicated to cybersecurity. The organization is tasked with helping our nation's business and critical infrastructures improve their cybersecurity and protect their information.

One of the ways this is done is through the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) system.
