1. The CVE, the identifier
What exactly is designated by CVE-2021-44228, who assigns that number, and why two tools can describe the same flaw differently.
A critical flaw drops in the morning, it is all over the feeds, and the question lands before noon. At your desk the alert went out before the question did, because your CVE monitoring tracks only the versions you actually run, declared once by hand, from an SBOM or from a URL. Nine feeds re-read continuously, CISA's KEV catalog and CERT-FR alerts among them. And the order of remediation is already settled: observed exploitation first, probability over 30 days next, severity last.

Nine vulnerability feeds drive your alerts: CVE List, NVD, CISA's KEV catalog, EPSS, PoC-in-GitHub, GHSA, OSV, CERT-FR advisories and alerts, and the European EUVD database. Twelve editorial sources drive your daily brief. You keep one tab open; we keep the others open for you. How a CVE monitoring scope is built.
No noise. Our engine compares your technologies and their versions, by CPE identifier (Common Platform Enumeration, the naming scheme that identifies a product and its version), against 360,000 indexed CVE records, reserved and rejected identifiers included. Only what touches your declared components comes through.
Alerts at D-90, D-30 and D-7 for every component of your stack.
We call this brief Patchwork: an 8am email summarizing what our 12 editorial sources published the day before, filtered on your stack. Two minutes of reading instead of twelve tabs.
Two delays, not to be confused. The synchronization: we re-read CVE List, KEV and EPSS continuously, in cycles of a few minutes. The processing: once the CVE is seen, matching it to your stack, prioritizing it and notifying you takes under 30 seconds. No one can be faster than their own polling interval; we would rather write it down.
Picked up during a sync cycle on CVE List v5, CISA's KEV catalog or FIRST.org's EPSS.
CPE vendor / product / version matching against the components you declared, then a minimum-severity filter.
Three signals, in this order: is the CVE already being exploited (KEV)? how likely is exploitation within 30 days (EPSS)? how much damage if it happens (CVSS)?
Slack, Teams, email, webhook. Workflow: PENDING → ANALYZING → FIXING → RESOLVED.
Pick a trigger, add your conditions, wire up your actions. From detected CVE to notified team, automatically, without writing a line of code.
Build your automations on a canvas: each workflow starts from an event, filters by conditions, then runs actions on your channels.

CVE-2026-1847 is the priority on your estate right now: CVSS 9.8, exploitation confirmed.
Why it comes first
Added to the KEV catalog on March 12: it is exploited in the wild, not merely rated severe.
EPSS at 97%, the highest score among your 214 open vulnerabilities.
12 of your servers run OpenSSL 3.2.1; the fixed version is 3.2.2.
The vendor has published the fix. I can prepare the remediation tracking; nothing is applied without your approval.

You do not sell a prioritization tool to someone you never explained prioritization to. These four guides read in this order; they are free, require no sign-up, and contain not one word of sales copy.
What exactly is designated by CVE-2021-44228, who assigns that number, and why two tools can describe the same flaw differently.
How to read a vector field by field, and why a 9.8 is not a priority instruction but a measure of potential damage.
How to read a CVSS vectorWhat a score of 0.92 means, why it is recomputed every morning, and what it emphatically does not predict.
How EPSS estimates riskCISA's catalog predicts nothing: it lists flaws whose exploitation has been observed. It is the hardest signal of the four.
What the KEV catalog requiresTwenty documented REST endpoints: read your alerts, query the CVE database, view your inventory, block a deployment when a critical CVE has not been handled. The API is included in the Pro and Business plans. Bearer authentication, per-plan quotas, examples in curl, Python, JavaScript and GitHub Actions.
Fetch your alerts, query the CVE database, read your watchlist, cases and statistics. Your entire monitoring is available read-only via the API (GET), to block a deployment on a critical CVE.

Four plans, from one person's watch to the team that has to prove what it fixes. CVE alerts are never billed by volume: what changes is the number of tracked components, the size of the team and the features. Prices exclude VAT, which is added at checkout based on your country. See the full price table.
To get started. One monitored project, no credit card.
Vulnerability watch for teams. Sort alerts together and keep a record.
Watch + NIS2 evidence. Show how you handle your vulnerabilities.
SSO, audit, procurement. Beyond that, on quote.
No commitment, change plans at any time, prorated on switch. Prices exclude VAT. Managed service provider? The Partner plan is billed per client. Before you choose, compare: five competing tools, our criteria, our verification dates.

You declare your components (operating systems, appliances, frameworks, libraries) by hand, by importing a CycloneDX or SPDX SBOM, or by detection from a public URL. Every published CVE is matched against that inventory by CPE identifier (vendor, product, version). A CVE that touches none of your components is never sent to you.
Two delays, not to be confused. We re-read the feeds continuously, in cycles of a few minutes: that is synchronization. Once the CVE is seen, matching, prioritization and notification take under 30 seconds: that is processing. No one can be faster than their own polling interval, and we would rather write that than publish a figure our own documentation contradicts.
Nine vulnerability feeds: CVE List, NVD, CISA's KEV catalog (Known Exploited Vulnerabilities, flaws with observed exploitation), FIRST.org's EPSS, PoC-in-GitHub, GHSA, OSV, CERT-FR advisories and alerts, and ENISA's European vulnerability database (EUVD). Separately, twelve editorial sources (the CERT-FR feed, vendor blogs, trade press) feed the daily brief. They never trigger an alert. The detail is on the data sources page.
Not necessarily, and this is the most common trap. CVSS measures potential damage, not the likelihood of attack. Most critical CVEs are never exploited. We look first at whether the CVE is in the KEV catalog (exploitation observed), then at its EPSS score (probability of exploitation within 30 days), and only then at CVSS.
Your inventory serves exactly one purpose: filtering the CVE feed. It is not resold, not used to train a model, not shared with a third party. Hosting in the Paris region, AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit. Our subprocessors, three of which are established outside the European Union, are listed with their safeguards on the Security page. A data processing agreement (DPA) is signable on request.
Yes. The Free plan asks for no payment method: an email address is enough. It covers 1 project, 3 entered stack components, 1 alert webhook, 1 SBOM application and 5 end-of-life trackings, with email alerts. That is enough to see whether the filtering delivers on your stack.
The API is included in the Pro and Business plans: alerts, CVE database, inventory, cases, statistics, read-only (GET endpoints). Pro allows 5,000 calls per hour, Business has no hourly quota. Bearer authentication with revocable keys. From the Team plan up, alerts can also go to Slack, Teams and HMAC-signed webhooks.
You can export your data at any time, without asking us and at no cost: inventory, alerts, cases, audit log. Plan changes work both ways, prorated. Nothing is deleted when you move down a plan: only the higher plan's features stop being available.
