KEV Collider Tool Enhances Vulnerability Triage for Security Teams
Summary
Hide ▲
Show ▼
A new tool called KEV Collider has been developed to help security teams better triage the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog by the US Cyber and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). The tool allows teams to filter vulnerabilities based on various criteria, making the list more relevant to their environments. The KEV Catalog, while useful, does not always align with the cybersecurity priorities of most organizations, often including vulnerabilities that are low-severity or low-probability for many companies. The KEV Collider integrates data from the KEV Catalog with other sources like CVSS scores, EPSS scores, and Metasploit exploit availability to provide a more comprehensive view. The tool aims to help security teams make better decisions about which vulnerabilities to prioritize, especially as the number of vulnerabilities continues to grow. The creator, Tod Beardsley, emphasizes that the KEV Catalog should not be treated as a must-patch list for all organizations, as it is primarily tailored to the needs of the federal civilian executive branch.
