In this week's Risk & Repeat podcast, SearchSecurity editors discuss
vulnerability marketing and compare how the recent KRACK attack and ROCA flaw
were publicized and promoted.

Podcast

Should security vulnerabilities be marketed like products? That was the question
after two major security flaws brought to light last week -- the KRACK attack
and the ROCA flaw -- offered a contrast in the practice of vulnerability
marketing.

While the KRACK attack, which exploits a vulnerability in the WPA2 protocol,
received more marketing and media attention, some infosec experts argued the
ROCA flaw, which affects RSA encryption in Infineon Technologies chips, was
equally, if not more serious than KRACK.

Both vulnerabilities were discovered primarily by security researchers at
universities, not by vendors. Yet, ROCA appeared to have taken a backseat to the
KRACK attack; the latter discovery benefited from vulnerability marketing
efforts, which included a dedicated website and promotional efforts to raise
awareness of the WPA2 flaw.

What are the potential drawbacks of vulnerability marketing? Should the
researchers that discovered the ROCA flaw have done more to promote their
findings, or is the infosec community treating vulnerabilities too much like
products? SearchSecurity editors Rob Wright and Peter Loshin discuss those
questions and more in this episode of the Risk & Repeat podcast.
