The Challenge

The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is a useful measure of severity but a poor measure of risk. A “Critical” 9.8 vulnerability in a publicly exposed, non-essential system may be less dangerous than a “Medium” 6.5 vulnerability in an internet-facing system that is actively being exploited in the wild and is relevant to your industry. SOC and vulnerability management teams are paralyzed by thousands of vulnerabilities and lack the context to know which ones to patch immediately.

DeCYFIR’s Approach

We weaponize intelligence. Our platform correlates the vulnerabilities found on your assets (from Pillar 1) with a real-time stream of threat intelligence. We analyze:

• Active Exploitation: Is there proof-of-concept code available? Is it being used in real attacks?
• Adversary Intent: Are the threat actors that target your industry discussing or weaponizing this CVE?
• Campaign Relevance: Is this vulnerability part of a larger, ongoing campaign?

The output is a dynamic, risk-based priority list. You are not told to “patch all Criticals”; you are told to “patch this specific vulnerability on this specific server within 48 hours because a known APT group is using it against companies like yours.”

Business Impact

Dramatic reduction in mean time to patch (MTTP) for high-risk vulnerabilities. Security teams can focus their limited resources on the 2% of vulnerabilities that represent 98% of the actual risk, drastically improving efficiency and reducing the window of exposure.
