Growing our vulnerability database and automation capabilities to save Cytidel CTI Analysts 20+ hours a week
OUR JOURNEY
-
We started with EPSS, CVSS & Asset Location with our first attempt at moving beyond CVSS for prioritisation.
​
-
Hired a dedicated CTI team to identify trends across news, social and advisories.
​
-
Began automating our CTI processes for identifying CVE trends and prioritising vulnerabilities.
​
-
Built our own scanners to aggregate news, social and advisories mentions for CVEs for past 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days and 30 days.
​
-
Added layers to our CVE Data by integrating CISA KEV, Exploit data & POC data.
RESULTS IN YEAR 2
-
We save approx 20 hours a week for each analyst researching CVE trends.
​
-
We can bulk analyse CVEs against latest intelligence with rapid prioritisation, achieving 95% improved efficiency vs CVSS prioritisation.

In one week, identified 100+ non-NVD CVEs that had trending activity.
