Secunia believes that information about vulnerabilities should be freely accessible

Only by informing customers and users about vulnerabilities and their associated risks can we provide them with a real chance to assess the risk they are exposed to and how much effort they should put into protecting themselves.

Keeping information about vulnerabilities hidden only causes customers and users to get a wrong sense of being secure, while attackers gain all the time they need to find the holes and exploit them.

Secunia's Security Specialists are passionate about vulnerabilities and getting the information right. That is why we on a daily basis test and verify more than ten vulnerabilities in various products. We even dare to test and question the conclusions and the fixes created by the vendors themselves. All too often we prove them and others to be wrong or find their claims to be inaccurate.

We believe that vulnerability information should be publicly available, verified, and reliable.
