Backslash announced the launch of the Backslash Weaknesses Database, an initiative designed to elevate awareness about the persisting relevance of vulnerabilities.

In the fast-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, it's crucial to stay vigilant, and our database is here to shed light on CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration) trends. This repository serves as a single pane of glass, providing a comprehensive view of all CWEs. Backslash's goal is to help security professionals and development teams better understand and prepare for evolving threats.

Why Backslash Weakness Database?

Despite advancements in security practices, certain vulnerabilities continue to pose threats. The Backslash Weaknesses Database aims to empower security professionals with a more comprehensive understanding of prevailing trends and enhance their preparedness in the face of potential threats.

Backslash's motivation stems from a desire to dispel the misconception that specific vulnerabilities, such as SQL injections, have become obsolete. Contrary to popular belief, these vulnerabilities remain relevant, and our database serves as a testament to their enduring significance.

Backslash's goal is to provide security teams with the knowledge necessary to fortify their defenses against both longstanding and emerging vulnerabilities. By recognizing the ongoing relevance of specific vulnerabilities and presenting a holistic view of CWE trends, Backslash fosters a proactive approach to cybersecurity.
