Mining the Gaps for Emerging Threats: Proactive Vulnerability Management with Cyware and VulnCheck

Vulnerability Management • Nov 18, 2024

As cyberattacks evolve, overlooking one critical vulnerability can become a gateway for attackers. The alarming reality is that the time attackers need to weaponize vulnerabilities has drastically reduced.

Five years ago, attackers would take nearly a year to exploit a vulnerability; today, they need less than eight days. For cybersecurity teams, this shrinking window heightens the urgency of proactive and efficient vulnerability management.

To address this pressing need, Cyware and VulnCheck teamed up to bring you a webinar titled "Mining the Gaps for Emerging Threats."

Led by industry experts Kimber Duke from VulnCheck and Kris Palmer from Cyware, this session dove into cutting-edge strategies, tools, and how our integrated approach helps to identify, prioritize, and operationalize exploit intelligence. Our experts will analyze specific CVEs in VulnCheck’s intelligence across weaponization and exploitation and show how that data can be used to close those critical gaps and keep your organization a step ahead of emerging threats.

Webinar Highlights

1. Understanding the Urgency: Weaponization Speeds are Happening Fast

We kicked things off with an eye-opening overview of today’s exploit landscape. VulnCheck and Cyware experts discussed how the rapid weaponization of unpatched vulnerabilities is now a major challenge, particularly for organizations relying on traditional vulnerability intelligence sources like the NVD (National Vulnerability Database) or CISA KEV (Known Exploited Vulnerabilities).

2. Mining the Gaps: Prioritization Based on Real-World Exploitation

Not all vulnerabilities are created equal. Knowing where to focus is the key to effective vulnerability management lies in prioritizing high-risk vulnerabilities based on real-world exploitation data. We explained how to leverage the unique intelligence available on VulnCheck NVD++ and VulnCheck KEV—datasets that capture emerging vulnerabilities faster than traditional databases. By highlighting cases where VulnCheck has identified CVEs before NVD or CISA KEV, you'll be able to zero in on the highest risk factors and act with confidence. Both of these solutions ship in Cyware’s Threat Intelligence Platform.

3. Operationalizing Exploit Intelligence with Automation in Cyware’s TIP

In a high-stakes environment where speed matters, Automating the collection and application of exploit intelligence is crucial. Cyware’s Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) integrates seamlessly with VulnCheck, enabling instant availability of exploit data for alerting and remediation. Our speakers walk through how Cyware’s TIP can help security teams share and operationalize intelligence without manual delays, ensuring fast response times.

4. Mitigating Risks with Continuous Exposure Management

Vulnerabilities are only one aspect of the risk landscape.To truly reduce risk, vulnerability management has to go beyond patching. Security teams need continuous exposure management that covers configurations, misconfigurations, and more. Learn strategies for maintaining an ongoing assessment of your organization’s exposure, enabling security teams to move beyond basic patch management to a more holistic approach to security.

By examining these cases in Cyware’s TIP, we’ll showcase how teams can rapidly assess and act upon intelligence, turning insights into actionable protection.
