Google: Announcing Project Zero
(Google): http://googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.com/2014/07/announcing-project-zero.html
"Project Zero is our contribution, to start the ball rolling.
Our objective is to significantly reduce the number of people
harmed by targeted attacks. We're hiring the best
practically-minded security researchers and contributing 100%
of their time toward improving security across the Internet
... We commit to doing our work transparently. Every bug we
discover will be filed in an external database. We will only
report bugs to the software's vendor -- and no third parties.
Once the bug report becomes public (typically once a patch is
available), you'll be able to monitor vendor time-to-fix
performance, see any discussion about exploitability, and view
historical exploits and crash traces. We also commit to
sending bug reports to vendors in as close to real-time as
possible, and to working with them to get fixes to users in a
reasonable time."
