With Omar Santos
Welcome to the Cisco Support Community Ask the Expert conversation. This is an opportunity to learn and ask questions about Cisco's Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) including Open Vulnerability and Assessment Language (OVAL) definitions in Cisco IOS Software security advisories. OVAL provides a structured and standard machine-readable content that allows customers to quickly consume security vulnerability information and identify affected devices.
You can ask things like how customers can use OVAL to quickly assess the effects of security vulnerabilities in Cisco IOS Software devices as well as how to provide step-by-step instructions on how to use OVAL content with available open source tools, and about security automation and machine-readable content.
