The CVE countdown clock. [Research Saturday]

from CyberWire Daily Hosted by N2K Networks

Bob Rudis, VP Data Science from GreyNoise, is sharing some insights into their work on "Early Warning Signals: When Attacker Behavior Precedes New Vulnerabilities." New research reveals a striking trend: in 80% of cases, spikes in malicious activity against enterprise edge technologies like VPNs and firewalls occurred weeks before related CVEs were disclosed. The report breaks down this “6-week critical window,” highlighting which vendors show the strongest early-warning patterns and offering tactical steps defenders can take when suspicious spikes emerge. These findings reveal how early attacker activity can be transformed into actionable intelligence, enabling defenders to anticipate and neutralize threats before vulnerabilities are publicly disclosed. Complete our annual ⁠⁠⁠audience survey⁠⁠⁠ before August 31. The research can be found here: Early Warning Signals: When Attacker Behavior Precedes New Vulnerabilities
