KEV Intelligence vs CISA KEV
CISA KEV Is the Baseline. KEV Intelligence Is the Early-Warning Layer Around It.
CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog is essential. KEV Intelligence complements it with proprietary sensor observations, private honeypot telemetry, inspectable evidence, confidence, and automation-ready delivery.
- Proprietary Telemetry
- Sensors
- Observed exploitation attempts mapped to CVEs where evidence supports it
- Beyond CISA KEV
- 1,080
- Additional exploited CVEs tracked beyond the official catalog
- Built for Automation
- API + RSS
- JSON API and RSS outputs for VM, CTI, SOC, and MSSP workflows
Comparison
Why KEV Intelligence Complements CISA KEV
CISA KEV tells you what the official catalog has confirmed. KEV Intelligence adds early warning from proprietary sensors, confidence, and operational context around and beyond that catalog.

| Capability | CISA KEV | KEV Intelligence |
|---|---|---|
| Official US government exploited vulnerability catalog | Yes | Includes CISA KEV as a source |
| Proprietary sensor exploitation signals | No | Yes |
| Attacker IP / cross-CVE telemetry | No | Yes |
| Additional exploited CVEs outside CISA KEV | No | Yes — currently 1,080 tracked |
| RSS feed delivery | No | Yes — Free KEV RSS Feed available |
| PoC, scanner and exploitability context | Limited | Yes — PoCs, scanner integrations, Nuclei/Metasploit context and online mentions |
| Evidence-backed attestation + source links | Yes | Yes — plus confidence, timelines, and supporting evidence links |
| Prioritization context | Known exploitation and remediation guidance | Known exploitation, EPSS, CVSS, CWE, timelines, source evidence and operational context |
| Automation-ready delivery | JSON + CSV (no RSS) | UI, RSS, and API (Free, Pro, Enterprise) |
Problem
The Vulnerability Prioritization Problem
Security teams are not short of vulnerability data. They are overloaded by it. With hundreds of thousands of CVEs and limited remediation capacity, the winning strategy is not to patch everything first. It is to know when exploitation starts and act there first.
KEV Intelligence is designed for that workflow: early warning first, evidence and confidence next, automation always.
KEV Intelligence Helps Answer:
- Has this vulnerability moved into active exploitation?
- Has KEV Intelligence observed it on proprietary sensors?
- Was it seen before CISA KEV listed it?
- What evidence and confidence support the warning?
- Can this be fed directly into existing VM, SOC or CTI workflows?

CISA KEV is the baseline. KEV Intelligence is the early-warning layer — proprietary sensor observations, inspectable evidence, and delivery into the workflows your team already uses.
