Cybersecurity professionals who need to track the latest vulnerability exploits now have a new tool designed to make their job easier, with the launch today of VulnCheck XDB, a database of exploits and proof of concepts hosted on Git repositories.
The tool, from cyberthreat intelligence provider VulnCheck, is aimed at helping vulnerability researchers and security teams prioritize vulnerabilities based on the availability and criticality of new exploits that have been made public.
“There is a significant gap in exploit databases available today for modern security teams,” said Anthony Bettini, CEO and founder of VulnCheck. “That’s why we’re excited to launch XDB. This complementary tool will be instrumental in helping researchers, offensive teams and detection engineers solve the vulnerability prioritization challenge and bolster security.”
