VulnCheck KEV Surges to Track More than 3,600 Known Exploited Vulnerabilities
Exploit Intelligence Company Now Tracking 173% More Known Exploited Vulnerabilities than CISA KEV; VulnCheck Community Surpasses 10,000 Users LEXINGTON, Mass., May 07, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--VulnCheck, the exploit intelligence company, today announced significant growth of its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, which now tracks over 3,600 known exploited vulnerabilities, and has surpassed over 10,000 users worldwide. The VulnCheck KEV is available through the VulnCheck Community as a free intelligence feed for any enterprise, cybersecurity firm, government team, or managed service provider. VulnCheck launched its Community offerings in early 2024, with hundreds of cybersecurity platforms now powered with VulnCheck intelligence. The volume of the VulnCheck KEV catalog exceeds the CISA KEV catalog by 173%. On average, the VulnCheck KEV is 27 days faster at informing users of known exploited vulnerabilities than the CISA KEV, and currently averages 125% more known exploited vulnerabilities added monthly. The VulnCheck KEV provides security teams and detection engineers with a dashboard featuring the largest real-time collection of known exploited vulnerabilities. Through its new interface, VulnCheck KEV users have enriched CVE context, including links to exploit proof-of-concept (POC) code, making it easier to find exploitation evidence and exploits for validation and testing against VulnCheck XDB - another Community resource that provides users with exploit POC code in Git repositories, programmatically compiled with validation steps that involve human analysis and automated block lists. "Our research shows that 28% of CVEs are exploited within the first 24 hours of disclosure to gain access to critical systems and organizations," said Anthony Bettini, CEO and founder, VulnCheck. "As defenders struggle to keep up, getting information into their hands faster about which vulnerabilities need remediation first can help stop breaches before they occur. The VulnCheck KEV solves this issue for thousands of defenders worldwide." The VulnCheck KEV catalog also includes citations and evidence explaining why each vulnerability is listed, linking to known threat actors, ransomware groups, or botnet activity when available. The VulnCheck KEV helps teams better manage threats, build detections faster, and solve the vulnerability prioritization challenge. In 2024, VulnCheck:

VulnCheck Named Startup Spotlight Competition Finalist at Black Hat Asia 2025
Vulnerability and Exploit Intelligence Technology Leader Set to Present Before Panel of Esteemed Judges on April 3 LEXINGTON, Mass., March 24, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--VulnCheck, the exploit intelligence company, today announced that it has been named a finalist for the first-ever Startup Spotlight Competition at Black Hat Asia 2025. VulnCheck will present its comprehensive exploit and vulnerability intelligence technology to a panel of distinguished industry judges and a live audience on Thursday, April 3 at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. Vulnerability exploitation has persisted as the top cybersecurity threat for years. Despite $30 billion spent annually across both the vulnerability management and threat intelligence sectors, security teams struggle to maintain pace with the volume of new vulnerabilities and the speed at which adversaries weaponize unpatched software. In fact, vulnerability exploitation increased by nearly 200% in 2024 and more than 23% of known exploited vulnerabilities (KEVs) were exploited on or before the day their CVEs were publicly disclosed. Recognizing the need to gather better data, faster, VulnCheck built an autonomous collection system to monitor threats at internet scale to give customers a prioritized view of the vulnerabilities that matter. "We now see sophisticated cybercriminals exploiting new vulnerabilities in as little as four hours," said Benjamin Harris, CEO and founder at watchTowr. "Defenders need to determine exposure to emerging vulnerabilities much sooner to effectively respond and prevent attacks before they occur. While dealing with slowdowns within industry-standard intelligence sources like CISA KEV, NVD and MITRE, VulnCheck data helps us fill this gap." VulnCheck delivers the most comprehensive, real-time exploit and vulnerability intelligence, autonomously collected at the time of disclosure. VulnCheck sources data from nearly 500 channels and over 400 million records across all CVEs. The platform refreshes its feed multiple times per day and provides data output in machine-readable feeds. Designed for seamless integration into security workflows and products, VulnCheck enables product, security and response teams to track, prioritize, and remediate the most critical vulnerabilities early and often. "We have the largest collection of vulnerability and exploit intelligence in the industry, and we make it available before anyone else," said Anthony Bettini, CEO and founder of VulnCheck. "As vulnerabilities are exploited on an increasingly compressed timeline, we believe it is critical for this unique, best-in-class threat data to be available on a global scale. This recognition from Black Hat Asia helps us expand even further in the APAC market, reaffirms our approach and is a testament to our team's commitment to supporting analysts and defending organizations from emerging threats." Last week, VulnCheck announced a $12 million Series A funding round led by Ten Eleven Ventures, with participation from existing investors including Sorenson Capital and In-Q-Tel (IQT). This follows a year in which the company achieved 3x year-over-year Annual Recurring Revenue growth, 158% customer growth and a 100% customer retention rate. The Startup Spotlight Competition begins at 4:15 p.m. SGT on April 3. VulnCheck's Chief Marketing Officer Tom Bain will be delivering the presentation, in addition to a second talk in Business Hall Theatre A at 11:35 a.m. SGT. Bain presented on behalf of VulnCheck in the 2024 RSAC Innovation Sandbox competition, where VulnCheck was one of 10 finalists, and most recently at the Montgomery Summit, where VulnCheck was a presenting company. The panel of expert judges includes Chiko David, Programs Director at Hatch; Lucas Nelson, Partner at Lytical Ventures; Jon Ong, Senior Cybersecurity Analyst at Omdia; and Sunil Sapra, co-founder and Chief Growth Officer at Eventus Security. Shanna Daly, CISO at OpSys will host the contest.
