Abstract
The Stakeholder-specific Vulnerability Categorization (SSVC) is a system for prioritizing actions during vulnerability management. SSVC aims to avoid one-size-fits-all solutions in favor of a modular decision-making system with clearly defined and tested parts that vulnerability managers can select and use as appropriate to their context.
Version 2 improves on Version 1.1 (https://weis2020.econinfosec.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2020/06/weis20-final6.pdf) with the addition of the coordinator stakeholder perspective, improvements to terminology, integration of feedback on decision point definitions, and tools to support practical use.
