EPSS: A New Era in Vulnerability Prioritization

The Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS) is a metric used to predict the likelihood of vulnerabilities in software being exploited. After vulnerabilities are identified, EPSS aims to determine the extent to which these vulnerabilities could be used by attackers in real-world scenarios. This system helps security teams understand which vulnerabilities to prioritize.

The EPSS calculation process involves several steps:

1. Data Collection: EPSS gathers large amounts of data. This includes information on vulnerabilities, details related to their exploitation, …
