Intelligence
Fix What's Exploited

Not every vulnerability is worth your team's time. SBCMSP enriches findings with the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog and EPSS exploitation-probability scores — so you prioritize the issues attackers are actually using, not just the ones with high theoretical scores.

Why It Matters

Severity Alone Misleads

Traditional vulnerability scoring tells you how bad a flaw could be in theory — but not whether anyone is actually exploiting it. Teams end up chasing high-severity issues that no one attacks while overlooking lower-scored flaws that are being weaponized in the wild right now.

Two public intelligence sources fix this. CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog lists flaws confirmed to be exploited in real attacks. EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) estimates the probability that a given vulnerability will be exploited.

SBCMSP cross-references your findings against both, synced daily, so the issues an attacker is most likely to use rise to the top of your remediation list — and your team spends its limited time where it actually reduces risk.

01 Known-Exploited Flagging
Findings on the CISA KEV catalog are flagged as urgent — these are confirmed, real-world exploited.
02 Exploit Probability
EPSS scores estimate how likely each issue is to be exploited, sharpening prioritization.
03 Cut the Noise
Low-probability, theoretical issues are deprioritized so your team isn't buried in non-urgent findings.
The Intelligence We Apply

Real-World Risk Context

SBCMSP enriches findings with authoritative exploitation intelligence so prioritization reflects what's actually happening.

How It Works

Intelligent Prioritization in Three Steps

SBCMSP adds real-world context to findings so your team fixes what matters most.

🔍
1. Findings Are Detected
SBCMSP's scans surface vulnerabilities and exposure across the client's environment.
⚠
2. Intelligence Is Applied
Each relevant finding is cross-referenced against the CISA KEV catalog and EPSS scores to gauge real-world exploitation risk.
📈
3. Work Is Prioritized
Findings are ranked so known-exploited and high-probability issues rise to the top, with theoretical ones deprioritized.
🔄
Stays Current
As KEV and EPSS data evolve, prioritization updates — an issue can become urgent when new exploitation emerges.
📊
Portfolio Triage
Spot known-exploited issues across your entire client base and act on the most dangerous first.
🏷️
Defensible Reporting
Show clients you prioritize by real-world risk, not just raw severity — in branded reports.
FAQ

Common Questions About KEV + EPSS Intelligence

What are the CISA KEV catalog and EPSS?
The CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog is a public, authoritative list of vulnerabilities confirmed to be exploited in real-world attacks. EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a public model that estimates the probability a given vulnerability will be exploited. Together they indicate real-world risk rather than theoretical severity.
How does this change which vulnerabilities I fix first?
Instead of ranking purely by severity score, SBCMSP elevates findings that appear on the KEV catalog or carry a high EPSS probability — the ones attackers are actually using — and deprioritizes low-probability, theoretical issues, so your team's effort reduces the most risk.
Does the intelligence stay up to date?
Yes — KEV and EPSS data change over time, and SBCMSP applies the current intelligence so a finding's priority can shift as real-world exploitation evolves.
Does this appear in client reporting?
Yes. Prioritization context is reflected in findings and reports, letting you show clients that remediation is driven by real-world exploitation risk. Reports carry your branding on white-label plans.
