Halo Security offering improved visibility to vulnerabilities with KEV feature

SAN FRANCISCO – Halo Security has implemented a new feature on their security platform that will help customers better identify cybersecurity threats.

Common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs) have been growing every year since 2016, becoming a burden for security teams as they chase low priority vulnerabilities. However, Halo Security has implemented a new feature that reduces the noise of attack volume and improves surface visibility. Thanks to this customers can more easily identify active, known exploited vulnerabilities (KEVs) in the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) catalog.

“The sheer volume of CVEs can be overwhelming and when organizations don't know which vulnerabilities to prioritize, they end up on a wild goose chase,” said Nick Merritt, Vice President of Security and Products at Halo Security. “Our new KEV feature helps security teams understand their full attack surface by alerting them to only the most relevant threats — saving time, reducing noise, and improving security posture.”

The feature appears to users as a red banner at the top of the Halo platform whenever a KEV has been identified. Found vulnerabilities are easily filtered and sorted based on this data according to Halo Security, and helps security teams prioritize remediation and understand the true attack surface.

Halo Security stated that the KEV feature seamlessly integrates with Halo Security’s other offerings, including asset discovery, risk and vulnerability assessment, application scanning, and penetration testing.
