🛡️ Sherlocked Security – Vulnerability Intelligence (CVE Mapping)
Contextual CVE Intelligence to Prioritize and Preempt Exploits
📄 1. Statement of Work (SOW)
Service Name: Vulnerability Intelligence (CVE Mapping)
Client Type: Enterprises, SOC Teams, DevSecOps, FinTech, MSSPs, Critical Infrastructure
Service Model: Real-Time CVE Tracking + Exploitability Mapping + Patch Prioritization
Compliance Coverage: ISO 27001, NIST 800-53, MITRE ATT&CK, CVSS v3.1, CISA KEV
Coverage Areas:
- Zero-Day and Actively Exploited CVEs
- Vendor-Specific Vulnerabilities (e.g., Microsoft, Apache, Cisco)
- High-Impact CVEs with PoC Availability
- Threat Actor-Linked Vulnerabilities
🧠 2. Our Approach
🔹 Real-Time CVE Aggregation
🔹 Exploitability & Threat Mapping
🔹 Prioritized Patching with Business Risk Lens
[CVE Feed Aggregation] → [Exploit Verification & Source Tagging] → [MITRE & Threat Actor Mapping] → [Business Impact Contextualization] → [Risk Scoring] → [Client Patch Advisory] → [Review & Reporting]
🧪 3. Methodology
[Client Stack Mapping] → [Vulnerability Feed Subscription (CISA, NVD, ExploitDB)] → [CVE Correlation with Assets] → [Exploitability & Threat Actor Matching] → [CVSS/EPSS Risk Scoring] → [Patch Prioritization Guidance] → [Weekly Report Delivery] → [Monthly Threat Briefing]

📚 9. Real-World Case Studies
🔓 CVE Prioritization for Managed Cloud Client
Client: Global SaaS Provider
Action:
- CVE-2024-23897 (Jenkins RCE) was tagged 2 days before public exploit
- Urgent patch rollout enabled across DevOps environments
Outcome: - No exploitation observed
- Used as proof of proactive posture in ISO audit
🛡️ Banking Core Stack CVE Analysis
Client: Private Bank (Core Banking Infra)
Findings:
- Over 300 CVEs detected, only 19 marked as weaponized
- Focused patching reduced noise and downtime
Impact: - Reduced patch SLA from 14 days to 5 days for criticals
- SOC updated detection rules based on CVE behaviors
🛡️ 10. SOP – Standard Operating Procedure
- Collect asset inventory
- Correlate known CVEs with products
- Filter by exploit maturity, EPSS, CISA KEV
- Tag by severity, exposure, and business function
- Create tailored patch recommendation list
- Generate risk and compliance dashboards
- Deliver weekly and monthly updates
- Notify on zero-day alerts and live weaponization
- Track closure and remediation coverage
- Provide audit-friendly reports and change logs
