Veris

Veris is a term used in multiple contexts. The most widely cited usage in modern information security literature is the VERIS framework, a structured taxonomy for describing and sharing information about security incidents.

VERIS, standing for Vocabulary for Event Recording and Incident Sharing, provides a standardized data model for documenting the details of security incidents. It covers aspects such as the victim organization, the threat actor or source, the actions taken, the assets affected, the vulnerabilities exploited, and the resulting impact. The framework is designed to enable consistent data collection, comparison, and analysis of incidents across organizations, and it is commonly used in conjunction with the VERIS Community Database (VCDB), a repository that aggregates contributed incident data for research and risk assessment.

In other contexts, veris may appear as a proper noun in various languages and may be used as a surname or place name. Because there is no single dominant usage, the meaning of veris is determined by context.
