Known Exploited Vulnerabilities and counting....
A known exploited vulnerability (KEV) refers to a software vulnerability that is being actively exploited by cybercriminals or threat actors. When a vulnerability becomes known to be exploited in the wild, it signals that the vulnerability poses a significant and imminent risk to organizations.
Begin by
Knowing
which assets are at risk.
Accurate
Inventory
is a fundamental security tool.
Inventory is an important aspect of cybersecurity because it helps organizations identify and manage their technology assets, which is crucial for securing their systems and data. Inventory helps with the identification of the devices, software, or configurations that can become a security risk. By maintaining a current inventory, organizations can quickly identify any unpatched devices or outdated software that requires updating or removal.
Common Vulnerability and Exposure
CVEs form a database of known security vulnerabilities that are actively tracked and managed by a group of organizations, such as the U.S. National Cyber Security Alliance. CVEs are an important tool for network security management because they not only provide an inventory of existing vulnerabilities, but also provide information about how the vulnerability can be exploited and instructions on how to protect against it.
