Secunia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Secunia is a Danish computer security service provider best known for tracking vulnerabilities in more than 12,000 pieces of software and operating systems.

Numbers of "unpatched" vulnerabilities in popular applications are frequently quoted in software comparisons. Regardless of this number, the existence of just one "Highly critical" vulnerability is enough to avoid using an application until it is fixed.

Secunia also tracks currently active computer viruses. Secunia has gained publicity and a notable reputation with the discovery of major zero-day vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer and other widely used programs[1].
