Security.txt across the industry (denog17)
from Chaos Computer Club - recent events feed (low quality) · host Sascha Heinemann
This talk explores the adoption of `security.txt`, as defined in [RFC 9116](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9116), that enables websites to publish security contact information in a consistent and accessible way. We begin with a brief introduction to the RFC and the motivation behind standardized vulnerability disclosure. But is this even important to the network industry? To find out, we conclude with a focused analysis of security.txt adoption among organizations represented by this conference’s attendees, highlighting real-world trends, blind spots, and where we go from here.
