vulnerabilities

200 new CVEs a day and no realistic way to patch them all

Ryan Dewhurst, CEO of KEVIntel, discusses how his organization validates active exploitation of vulnerabilities before CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog lists them, using honeypot sensors, AI triage, and lab verification. The conversation addresses the overwhelming pace of 200 new CVEs daily, CISA's three-day patching mandate under BOD 26-04, and the role of virtual patching as a interim control, while noting that AI-generated proof-of-concept code complicates threat assessment.

Why it matters: Security teams face impossible patch timelines given the volume of new vulnerabilities; understanding KEV confirmation methodology and exploitation evidence hierarchy helps practitioners prioritize resources and use virtual patching strategically to meet compliance deadlines.

vulnerabilities

200 new CVEs a day and no realistic way to patch them all

Ryan Dewhurst, CEO of KEVIntel, discusses how his team identifies exploited vulnerabilities before they appear in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog using global honeypot sensors, artificial intelligence triage, and laboratory verification. He addresses the practical challenges of patching when 200 new CVEs emerge daily and explains CISA's three-day patching deadline under directive BOD 26-04, virtual patching tactics, and how AI-generated proof-of-concept code complicates exploitation detection.

Why it matters: Security teams tasked with prioritizing patches across hundreds of daily CVEs need better signals for exploitation risk, especially when KEV catalog confirmation lags behind active exploitation and organizational patch capacity remains limited.
