Public Edition — CyberVaR 360™ Cyber Exploit Brief
This is the public edition of my twice-weekly CyberVaR 360™ Cyber Exploit Brief. It summarizes the newest vulnerabilities added to CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog (confirmed exploited in the wild) and adds FIRST EPSS likelihood context (30-day exploitation probability) to help prioritize what matters now.
Important: This public edition isn’t tailored to your tech stack. The client edition matches threats to your environment, applies alert levels and priority tags, and gives your team a 72-hour plan to investigate, confirm exposure, mitigate, and prove closure.
Client Edition (Customized)
A twice-weekly, executive-ready cyber exploit brief built around your tech stack—not a generic vulnerability feed—mapping what’s being exploited in the wild right now to your environment with a clear, prioritized 72-hour action plan for your security team.
- Focuses on confirmed “exploited in the wild” vulnerabilities (CISA KEV), not an avalanche of theoretical CVEs.
- Adds daily exploitation likelihood context (FIRST EPSS) to support risk-based prioritization.
- Delivers a “fix first” list with alert levels and a simple 72-hour plan: investigate → confirm exposure → mitigate → prove closure.
- Forces a fast “are we exposed?” check tied to due dates—so you either close risk quickly or document why it’s not applicable.
- Optional upgrade: add a quantified view that translates top threats into estimated financial exposure, calibrated to your organization size.
