A comprehensive, actionable, and timely source of vulnerability intelligence is crucial for resolving these issues in a short time frame. With CSW\u2019s risk-based approach and vulnerability intelligence, security teams can prioritize the threats, including all KEVs, and minimize their attack surface.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cybersecurityworks.com\/blog\/cisa\/cisa-releases-a-directive-asking-organizations-to-patch-known-exploited-vulnerabilities.html\">Click here to know our detailed analysis of all the DHS CISA KEVs and download their patches.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CISA is ratcheting up the pressure on federal agencies to patch known exploited vulnerabilities added to the DHS CISA KEV catalog, which contains 504 CVEs as of writing.
