DESCRIPTION
This is an archive of a public project on GITHUB.
 
The Vocabulary for Event Recording and Incident Sharing (VERIS) is a language for describing security incidents.  VERIS and its accompanying dataset (VCDB) aim to provide not only a repository of widespread publicly collected incidents, but a common language for describing these incidents.  The overall goal is to cooperatively learn from past experiences for better risk management, and to collect data for all publicly available data breaches.

This is an archive of an ongoing project. To see more recent data, check the links above. 


file types: JSON, CSV, R

Date range of data: 2012-November 30, 2017 (Last date of consolidation when archive was collected.)

Collection method: Data is collected mostly by means of volunteers who submit new security incidents either by submitting a github issue (https://github.com/vz-risk/VCDB/issues) of a security incident to be coded later into the VERIS schema, or by encoding incidents into the VERIS schema for direct inclusion into the dataset.  The VERIS schema can be represented as CSV, JSON, or R formatted files.

Raw data is added manually by volunteers in the form of github issues, which are then converted by hand to the VERIS schema and added to the dataset.  Incidents already in the VERIS schema can be directly added to the dataset manually.

Topics covered or keywords used: VERIS, VCDB, security incidents, JSON, CSV, R
