Additionally, it said, NIST\u2019s insufficient communication has frustrated stakeholders and decreased confidence in the NVD.<\/p>\n<p>The report also said, \u201cNIST must improve the efficiency of enrichment processes to ensure sustainability. We estimate that NIST could put approximately $800,000 to better use over the next two years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It also attributed some of the issues with the vulnerability identification programs to bureaucratic infighting over the years, pointing out that for two years, CISA has been independently providing nearly all of the same enrichment data\u00a0as NIST.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.csoonline.com\/article\/4181438\/us-government-report-slams-nist-for-nvd-backlog.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US government report slams NIST for NVD backlog https:\/\/www.csoonline.com\/article\/4181438\/us-government-report-slams-nist-for-nvd-backlog.html Publish Date: 2026-06-04 21:49:00 Source Domain:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":264926,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.csoonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/4181438-0-59448200-1780624071-shutterstock_2600671493.jpg?quality=50&strip=all&w=1024","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[24,27],"class_list":["post-264925","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-cybersecurity","tag-vulnerability"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264925"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=264925"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264925\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":264927,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264925\/revisions\/264927"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/264926"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=264925"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=264925"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=264925"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
