🛡️ We're excited to announce the launch of 'FP KEV,' a new feature within VulnDB and the Flashpoint Ignite platform. This update enhances your vulnerability and patch management strategy by pinpointing vulnerabilities actively exploited in the wild.

This means you can ensure your remediation efforts are both targeted and effective. Key Enhancements: 🔹 'FP KEV' tag for clear identification of actively exploited vulnerabilities  🔹 Backfilling of Historical CVE Data for expanded coverage  🔹 Continual Dataset Enrichment for up-to-date intelligence In today's threat landscape, effective vulnerability intelligence is crucial. With ~40% of vulnerabilities having public exploits, prioritizing patching is more critical than ever. 'FP KEV' empowers you to prioritize with confidence, streamline workflows, and stay ahead of adversaries.
