Time to talk: Europe and the Vulnerability Equities Process

Finding a healthy balance between a nation’s national security needs and the government’s responsibility to keep the public secure in cyberspace, was a complicated task. One aspect of the problem was vulnerability disclosure. In other words, what should a government do if one of its security agencies learnt about a vulnerability (e.g. a technical flaw) in a software or hardware product?
