How is KEV different from CVSS?

CVSS scores how severe a vulnerability could be if exploited. KEV confirms a vulnerability is actually being exploited right now. A vulnerability can have a low CVSS score and still be in KEV, or a high CVSS score and never appear in KEV at all.

The Exploit Prediction Scoring System estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the next 30 days, based on observed data. It complements KEV by scoring vulnerabilities that aren't confirmed-exploited yet.

Does being listed in KEV mean my organisation is affected?

No. KEV confirms exploitation is happening somewhere. Whether it affects you depends on whether you run the affected vendor and product — which is exactly what Seraph CTI's technology watches are built to determine.

How often is the Seraph KEV catalogue updated?

Seraph CTI syncs directly against CISA's published feed, which CISA typically updates on business days, and against FIRST.org's EPSS scores, which are refreshed daily.

How does Seraph prioritise vulnerabilities?

By layering signals: CISA KEV status, EPSS exploitation probability, known ransomware association, and — for signed-in customers — whether the affected technology is actually in their environment.

Can Seraph CTI notify us when technologies we use are affected?

Yes. Technology watches let you declare the vendors and products your organisation runs, and get notified when a new KEV entry matches your declared stack.

How does KEV intelligence connect to VAPT?

A confirmed-exploited vulnerability in a technology you run is a strong candidate for safe, targeted validation through penetration testing — rather than waiting for the next scheduled engagement to surface it.

How does KEV intelligence support SOC operations?

SOC analysts can correlate KEV entries against live security events, so an exploitation attempt against a known-vulnerable, known-exploited technology is triaged with that context attached from the start.

CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV)

Why KEV Matters

Critical does not always mean exploited.

Thousands of vulnerabilities are disclosed every year. The challenge isn't identifying every vulnerability — it's understanding which ones attackers are actively using, and which of those are relevant to your environment.

CISA KEV answers the first question with authority: every entry is a vulnerability with confirmed, real-world exploitation. Seraph CTI carries that signal the rest of the way to a decision.

1

A weakness is disclosed.

2

CVSS Severity

How bad could this be, in theory.

3

Required Action

Apply mitigations in accordance with vendor instructions, ensuring compliance with CISA’s BOD 26-04 Prioritizing Security Updates Based on Risk (see URL in Notes) guidance and CISA’s “Forensics Triage Requirements” (see URL in Notes). Follow applicable BOD 26-04 guidance for cloud services or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable. Stakeholders are responsible for evaluating each asset's internet exposure and ensuring adherence to BOD 26-04 patching guidelines.

Seraph Intelligence

From public vulnerability data to security context.

CISA KEV is one intelligence signal — an authoritative one, but a single layer. Seraph CTI enriches it with CVSS and EPSS scoring, exploit availability, threat actor and campaign intelligence, technology relevance, and sector and regional context where evidence exists.

Seraph doesn't just answer “is this being exploited?” — it helps answer “does it matter to us?”

Your Environment

Know when a KEV affects technology you actually use.

The public catalogue tells everyone the same thing. Signed-in Seraph CTI customers declare the technologies they run once, and get notified the moment a new KEV entry matches their stack — not the other 1,600 that don't.

Sector Relevance

Understand which vulnerabilities matter to your industry.

Not every KEV entry carries the same weight in every sector. Seraph CTI flags vulnerabilities relevant to the technologies commonly used across identity, network/edge, server and cloud infrastructure in a given industry.

Financial ServicesHealthcareGovernmentTechnologyProfessional Services

Seraph describes vulnerabilities as relevant to technologies commonly used in a sector — never as evidence that a specific CVE is actively targeting it, unless that targeting has been independently confirmed.

Regional Intelligence

Global exploitation. Regional relevance.

Where evidence supports it, Seraph CTI adds regional context — technology relevance, observed exploitation, sector exposure, threat actor activity and reported campaigns specific to East Africa.

No verified regional exploitation context is currently available for the public catalogue shown on this page. Seraph CTI customers see regional context directly against their own monitored environment.

One Signal. Multiple Security Actions.

KEV intelligence should not stop at the catalogue.

Threat intelligence is the layer that connects every other layer of defence. A single KEV entry flows across the Seraph platform, not just into a report.
