LEV to the Rescue: New Cybersecurity Metric Promises to Squash Vulnerability Chaos
Discover the “Likely Exploited Vulnerabilities” (LEV) metric, a new tool concocted by CISA and NIST researchers. It’s designed to pinpoint which cybersecurity flaws are most likely to be exploited, potentially saving organizations from chasing phantom vulnerabilities while ignoring the cyber equivalent of a home invader. Who knew math could be so heroic?
Hot Take:
Well, it seems like the cybersecurity world is taking a page out of meteorology’s book—predicting the storm before it hits. Meet LEV, the new data-driven crystal ball that’s here to tell you which vulnerabilities are most likely to rain on your digital parade. Let’s just hope it’s more accurate than my local weather forecast!
Key Points:
- Introducing LEV: The new cybersecurity metric for predicting vulnerability exploitation.
- LEV aims to complement existing tools like KEV lists and the Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS).
- Utilizes equations that incorporate data from KEV and EPSS to enhance prioritization.
- LEV could help identify missing vulnerabilities and improve remediation strategies.
- Collaboration with industry partners is needed for LEV to reach its full potential.
