## Resource

Vulnerability disclosure is no longer just a technical process—it’s a diplomatic act. As cyber vulnerabilities become currency in the geopolitical marketplace, decisions about whether to patch or exploit are reshaping alliances, sowing distrust within coalitions, and forcing a reckoning with the norms of responsible state behavior. This post explores the inner workings of the U.S. Vulnerabilities Equities Process (VEP), coalition frictions over zero-day handling, and how cyber risk management choices are warping traditional diplomatic trust structures. https://www.thesecuritynexus.net
