Critical Threat Intelligence & Advisory Summaries
CVSS assigns severity scores based on theoretical impact. EPSS estimates the probability that adversaries will exploit a vulnerability in the next 30 days. For security teams managing more than 40,000 published CVEs annually, that distinction is operationally critical: Learn why severity alone no longer provides sufficient prioritisation accuracy.
MOVEit exploitation exposed a critical failure in vulnerability management: organizations had signals, patches, and intelligence—but failed to prioritize and respond to active exploitation. This OFA breaks down where controls failed and what security teams must change.
Security teams patch thousands of vulnerabilities each year, yet breaches consistently originate from a small, predictable subset. This analysis explores why patch programs fail and how exploitation intelligence, EPSS, and exposure-based prioritization must replace legacy approaches.
With 59,000+ vulnerabilities projected in 2026, organizations must rethink patching. This article explains why exposure-based prioritization is critical to reducing real-world cyber risk.
WASHINGTON, D.C. - February 16, 2026 - The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued a mandatory federal directive requiring the remediation of six Microsoft zero-day vulnerabilities by March 3. Linked to active exploitation by nation-state actors including Salt Typhoon, these flaws represent a critical escalation in the 2026 vulnerability landscape.
