Transilience Vulnerability Prioritization

Created by Venkat Pothamsetty, Modified on Mon, 28 Apr at 3:07 PM by Venkat Pothamsetty


As we all know, prioritizing CVEs is hard.  Explaining the prioritization is even harder.  There are many variables from asset, impact, threat facets to be considered; a scoring mechanism to be developed and risk categorization schema to be evangelized.


Transilience vulnerability prioritization helps with the following use cases

  1. Have a ton of CVEs and want to prioritize the first 10 CVEs to be fixed with clear explanation.
  2. Have a list of software and you want to analyze for vulnerabilities and prioritize them
  3. Have a vulnerability report from Qualys, Tenable that have 50% of the vulnerabilities in criticals and highs and want a real prioritized list 

You can get your prioritized list of CVEs over the UI or API.


Prioritize a list of CVEs


Take the CVEs, put it in a sample JSON format, upload.  Here is a sample json   


Upload the CVE file and download the prioritized list



{"schema_type": "simple_prioritization", "cves": ["CVE-2021-23031", "CVE-2021-23032", "CVE-2021-00001"]}


Prioritize a list of Software


Take the list of software put it in a simple XML

Upload the XML and download the prioritized list of CVEs
