Introduction to CyberSecFeed

Welcome to CyberSecFeed, the comprehensive vulnerability intelligence platform that provides complete CVE universe coverage with real-time enrichment.

What is CyberSecFeed?​

CyberSecFeed is a unified API platform that aggregates and enriches vulnerability data from multiple authoritative sources:

  • NVD (National Vulnerability Database): The primary source for CVE information
  • MITRE: Additional CVE coverage and updates
  • CISA KEV: Real-world exploitation status
  • EPSS: Predictive exploitation probability
  • ACSC: Regional threat intelligence and advisories

Why CyberSecFeed?​

Complete Coverage​

  • Comprehensive coverage of published CVEs
  • Hourly updates with smart skip logic for bandwidth optimization
  • Historical data from 1999 to present

Enriched Intelligence​

  • Know which vulnerabilities are actively exploited (KEV)
  • Predict future exploitation (EPSS scores)
  • Regional threat context (ACSC advisories)

Enterprise Ready​

  • Enterprise-grade uptime SLA (custom SLAs available)
  • Sub-second response times with intelligent edge caching
  • Comprehensive API with batch operations and enrichment parameters
  • Four-tier support structure (Community/Email/Priority/Dedicated)
  • Subscription-based model with Stripe integration

Who Uses CyberSecFeed?​

  • Security Teams: For vulnerability management and prioritization with KEV/EPSS/ACSC enrichment
  • DevSecOps: For automated security scanning and CI/CD integration with parameter-controlled data
  • Compliance Teams: For audit and regulatory reporting with comprehensive coverage
  • Threat Intelligence: For risk assessment and threat hunting with enriched data sources
  • Enterprise Organizations: Custom solutions with dedicated infrastructure and SLAs

Key Concepts​

CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures)​

Standardized identifiers for publicly known security vulnerabilities.

CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System)​

Technical severity scoring from 0.0 to 10.0.

KEV (Known Exploited Vulnerabilities)​

CISA's catalog of vulnerabilities with confirmed exploitation.

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System)​

Machine learning model predicting exploitation probability.

ACSC (Australian Cyber Security Centre)​

Regional security alerts and advisories (parameter-controlled with include=acsc).
