At Molecular Devices, we make scientific breakthroughs possible for academic, pharmaceutical, government, and biotech customers. To achieve this, we uphold core values that define our responsibility to those we serve. Among them: an unwavering commitment to the safety and security of users. Therefore, we believe in continuously improving to address the ever-evolving privacy and cybersecurity landscape.
In response to potential threats to cybersecurity, Molecular Devices has formed a global product security team to assess vulnerabilities and determine responses within a coordinated vulnerability disclosure (CVD) process. These efforts allow the company to continually learn from vulnerability test information submitted to us by customers and security researchers.
Scope
This CVD process applies to the reporting of potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities in Molecular Devices products and services.
