Using EPSS for Better Vulnerability Management

The Exploit Prediction Scoring System

Traditional vulnerability scoring often fails to reflect whether a flaw will actually be targeted in the wild. The Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS) provides a data-driven model that calculates the probability of real-world exploitation using live threat telemetry and CVE metadata.

Integrating EPSS into Pipelines and Patching

Applying EPSS scores within CI/CD pipelines and vulnerability management programs allows security teams to prioritize remediation based on actual threat likelihood rather than static severity scores alone.
