Microsoft has formally launched a public .NET Security Group, expanding a previously invite-only alliance to let more organizations ship timely security fixes in step with Microsoft. The initiative aims to reduce the lag between public vulnerability disclosures and available patches across various .NET distributions.

Here’s what you need to know:

Early CVE Access
Members will get advance visibility into vulnerabilities affecting .NET — helping you stay ahead.
Shared Patch Timelines
Not just insight, but influence: coordinate with Microsoft and .NET distributions on when patches roll out.
Community + Microsoft, United
This isn’t just a “watch from afar” program. It’s a collaborative space to help shape the security future of .NET.
What to Expect When You Apply
Applicants can expect a vetting process focused on trust and responsible disclosure. Once accepted, members will receive clear communication on expectations, guidelines, and how to securely collaborate on .NET security issues.
