Integrating Threat Intelligence

Vulnerability management cannot occur in a vacuum; it must be informed by the broader threat landscape. Integrating Threat Intelligence feeds into the CVD Portal provides crucial context that helps prioritize remediation efforts based on actual attacker behavior, a key tenet of proactive risk management under the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).

The portal can ingest data from various commercial and open-source threat intelligence platforms. This integration enriches your vulnerability records with indicators of compromise (IoCs), reports of active exploitation in the wild, and associations with known threat actor groups. When a vulnerability in your backlog is suddenly associated with active exploitation campaigns, the portal can automatically escalate its priority and alert your incident response teams.

This contextual intelligence transforms vulnerability management from a static, compliance-driven exercise into a dynamic, risk-based operation. By focusing your resources on the vulnerabilities that attackers are actively weaponizing, you significantly reduce your organization's practical exposure to cyberattacks and demonstrate a mature, intelligence-driven approach to security.

Exploitation evidence

Beyond the vendor advisory feed, the portal enriches each vulnerability with exploitation evidence drawn from the Global CVE Allocation System: multi-catalogue KEV assertions, EPSS probability scores, and real-world sightings. This is what separates "severe in theory" from "being used against people right now". See Exploitation Signals for what each badge means and how it feeds an Article 14 determination.
