A Deep Dive into the Exploit Prediction Scoring System EPSS

A Deep Dive into the Exploit Prediction Scoring System EPSS

Sep 27, 2023

The Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS) is a data-driven effort for estimating the likelihood (probability) that a software vulnerability will be exploited in the wild. EPSS’s goal is to assist network defenders to better prioritize vulnerability remediation efforts.

While other industry standards have been useful for capturing innate characteristics of a vulnerability and provide measures of severity, they are limited in their ability to assess threat. EPSS fills that gap because it uses current threat information from CVE and real-world exploit data.

In this webinar, join our panelists of cybersecurity experts as they discuss the benefits of using EPSS as a threat intelligence source for vulnerability prioritization.

Throughout the webinar, our panelists cover:

  • An overview of the Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS)
  • The benefits of using EPSS
  • How to use EPSS
  • What vulnerability tools can complement EPSS
