The VERIS Community Database

Posted on July 26, 2013 by Dissent

From Verizon:

… Verizon is addressing this need by launching a new initiative to collect, organize and publish all publicly disclosed data breaches. The data is coded into VERIS format and available in an interactive dashboard via Tableau Public as well as in individual files in JSON format in a GitHub repository. Both can be reached from the VERIS Community site as well.

The VERIS Community Database goes live this week with more than 1,200 reported incidents from the last few years. This initial batch of data comes from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) incidents, the sites of the various Attorneys General that provide breach notification source documents, media reports and press releases. The goal is to continue to augment this dataset to capture as many incidents as possible so that others can benefit.

This data is provided as a resource to benefit the industry at large, as the ability to access and query data breach information improves everyone’s ability to protect their organizations and data.
