Vulnerability prioritisation
that shows you what to fix first.

CTEM is a Gartner-defined five-stage framework (scoping, discovery, prioritisation, validation and mobilisation) that continuously reduces exploitable exposure across an organisation’s attack surface, rather than relying on point-in-time scans or annual tests. Precursor Intelligence delivers the discovery, prioritisation and validation stages with an evidenced exposure score.

Exposure management is the continuous practice of discovering, prioritising and reducing everything an attacker could exploit across your attack surface. It extends traditional vulnerability management with real-world exploitation context, so teams fix what attackers actually use rather than working down a list by severity.

Traditional vulnerability management identifies and patches CVEs, usually ordered by CVSS severity. CTEM adds continuous discovery, exploitability-based prioritisation, and validation, and aligns the whole cycle to business risk. In practice, roughly 60 percent of CVEs score 7.0 or above, so a severity-only queue tells you almost everything is critical. CTEM fixes the ordering.

Vulnerability prioritisation ranks your vulnerabilities by how likely they are to actually be exploited, not just how severe they are. Precursor Intelligence combines EPSS likelihood, CISA KEV exploitation status, CVSS impact, CWE weighting and threat-actor attribution into one exploitation risk score.

The exploitation risk score is a 0 to 100 exposure score, evidenced on every ranking, which uses live exploitation data from Shadowserver honeypot sensors. The full production score adds CWE-based impact weighting and threat-actor attribution across five dimensions.

No. Precursor Intelligence is a prioritisation and intelligence layer, not a scanner or patch orchestrator. It takes your scanner output or declared technology stack and hands back a defensible, evidenced queue, so your existing tooling keeps working and you finally know what to fix first.
