⚑ Free Vulnerability Prioritization Tools That Save CISOs Time ⚑

Thousands of vulnerabilities hit every year – but not all deserve your team’s immediate attention. The real challenge for CISOs is knowing which ones matter most, right now. Here are free tools that help cut through the noise and focus on what’s critical:

1️⃣ EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) – Prioritizes based on likelihood of exploitation in the wild.
