VulnCheck & Filigran: Delivering Actionable Security Intelligence for the Enterprise | Blog

Filigran and VulnCheck are proud to announce a strategic partnership that transforms enterprise threat intelligence capabilities through seamless integration. This collaboration brings together Filigran’s market-leading OpenCTI platform with VulnCheck’s comprehensive exploit intelligence solutions, creating a powerful joint offering that delivers immediate business value to security teams to enable scalable, automated response actioning.

Today’s security teams face mounting pressure to:

• Autonomously identify which vulnerabilities actually pose material risk to their organization
• Reduce alert fatigue and focus resources on the threats that matter
• Demonstrate ROI on security investments to executive stakeholders
• Accelerate time-to-remediation for critical vulnerabilities that are known exploited with linkages to threat actor activity, botnets and ransomware families

The integration between VulnCheck and Filigran’s OpenCTI directly addresses these challenges by providing actionable, contextualized intelligence that drives efficient SecOps workflow for enterprise teams across vulnerability management, cyber threat intelligence, AppSec and IR functions.

Organizations leveraging the VulnCheck-Filigran integration can realize substantial business value:

By automatically identifying vulnerabilities actively being exploited in the wild, security teams can cut through the noise and focus on what matters most. This integration helps organizations significantly accelerate remediation timeframes for the vulnerabilities that pose the greatest actual risk to their business based on CVEs that are weaponized, exploited in the wild or predicted to be exploited.

Security teams can now allocate their limited resources more effectively by focusing on vulnerabilities that pose genuine risk based on real-world exploitation data rather than theoretical CVSS scores alone. This intelligence-driven approach enables teams to maximize the impact of their security efforts. This integration is a force multiplier for any enterprise team given the global shortage of analysts.

The integration creates a unified intelligence platform that bridges the gap between vulnerability management, threat intelligence, and security operations functions in the enterprise. This shared operational picture enhances communication and streamlines response workflows.

By focusing on exploitable vulnerabilities with clear business impact, security leaders can more effectively communicate value to executive stakeholders through concrete metrics and risk reduction data.

The VulnCheck-OpenCTI integration transforms vulnerability management from a volume-based approach without a way to prioritize material CVEs, to an intelligence-driven strategy. Instead of attempting to address thousands of theoretical CVEs, security teams can now focus on the small percentage of vulnerabilities being actively exploited that pose a material risk to their business.

This strategic shift enables organizations to:

• Optimize security resources on threats that matter most
• Make intelligence-driven decisions based on real-world exploitation intelligence
• Strengthen their security posture while improving operational efficiency

The VulnCheck Connector for OpenCTI seamlessly imports and translates comprehensive vulnerability intelligence into structured STIX objects within the OpenCTI platform. The connector supports multiple intelligence feeds, including:

• VulnCheck Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV): Prioritize vulnerabilities actively being exploited in the wild
• Exploit Intelligence: Map exploits to specific vulnerabilities with technical details
• Initial Access Intelligence: Identify vulnerabilities commonly used as entry points by threat actors
• IP Intelligence: Correlate network indicators with vulnerability exploitation attempts
• Ransomware Intelligence: Associate vulnerabilities with specific ransomware families and campaigns

Each feed is systematically processed to generate actionable intelligence that integrates directly into existing OpenCTI workflows, enabling rapid analysis and response.

VulnCheck is a leader in vulnerability and exploit intelligence, equipping organizations with real-time, high-fidelity data to enhance security operations. By delivering machine-readable threat intelligence, VulnCheck empowers security teams to make informed decisions, prioritize vulnerabilities, and mitigate risks efficiently.

VulnCheck delivers 100% autonomous exploit intelligence solutions to enterprise, Federal government, and cybersecurity organizations. VulnCheck provides machine-readable feeds that enable analysts to prioritize vulnerabilities that genuinely matter for defending their organization.

OpenCTI users can sign up for the VulnCheck community feeds at https://vulncheck.com/community and access the VulnCheck KEV (the VulnCheck Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog) and VulnCheck NVD++ (single source of NIST NVD enriched with VulnCheck CPE and Mitre CVE list) feeds.

This partnership marks a significant advancement in cyber threat intelligence. By integrating VulnCheck’s exploit and vulnerability insights into Filigran’s OpenCTI-powered eXtended Threat Management (XTM) suite, security teams can enhance their proactive defense strategies and strengthen their overall security posture.

The VulnCheck-OpenCTI integration is a natural fit within Filigran’s XTM framework, which helps organizations understand threat environments, anticipate and detect incidents, and respond effectively to security challenges. This collaboration reinforces Filigran’s commitment to providing comprehensive, actionable intelligence that enables security teams to stay ahead of evolving threats.
