Is there no interest in supporting this, or am I just blind?
(the latter is quite possible ;-)
See http://cme.mitre.org/
From the CME FAQ:
"A8. How can my organization and I participate?
An integral component of the CME initiative is broad community
participation.
We strongly encourage users of anti-virus products to ask their
preferred
vendors to adopt CME identifiers. For anti-virus product vendors,
supporting
and participating in the CME initiative is a bold first step in
announcing
to your users that you want to help alleviate their confusion and
further
protect their systems and networks. Adopting the use of CME
identifiers
is
a significant first step in establishing a consistent approach by
anti-virus
entities that will benefit users and the entire information security
community.
I fail to see how everyone using the same names protects my users any
more than they already are by my using the best antivirus server-side
solution out there. Who cares what you call the virus, when norton
only releases new signatures on wednesdays.....
Contact us at [EMAIL PROTECTED] to discuss how you and your
organization can
help
this growing anti-virus and information security initiative."
Looks like they expect the ClamAV team to contact them, not the other
way round.
Cheers,
