Building on CVSS, EPSS, and KEV: A Practical Approach to Vulnerability Prioritization

These days, the overwhelming number of vulnerabilities in any system, combined with resource constraints, makes it impossible to remediate all vulnerabilities. Effective prioritization is essential, ensuring that the most critical threats are tackled first to safeguard an organization’s key assets efficiently.

Frameworks like CVSS, EPSS, the KEV catalog, and SSVC have been widely adopted to aid this task. Each framework offers unique insights, yet they often fall short of providing a holistic solution. This leaves organizations juggling multiple tools without a clear path to optimal prioritization.

Join my talk where I explore the strengths and weaknesses of these popular frameworks. I will discuss why no single framework should be used alone and how to develop a comprehensive vulnerability prioritization strategy that leverages the best aspects of each framework. Learn how to transform these theoretical tools into a practical, actionable plan that fits your security needs.
