Risk Based Security, Inc., a provider of detailed information and
analysis on Vulnerability Intelligence, Data Breaches, and Vendor Risk
Ratings, today announced a new partnership with Recorded Future, the
leading threat intelligence company, to help joint customers more
effectively identify and prioritize the vulnerabilities they should
mitigate.

Risk Based Security’s VulnDB is the most comprehensive and timely
vulnerability intelligence solution available.  It provides actionable
information about the latest in security vulnerabilities, both in
end-user software and the third-party libraries or dependencies that
help build applications.  It enables security professionals to quickly
and thoroughly analyze and respond to possible threats to their
organization, helping safeguard them against the considerable costs
and damage, to both data and reputation, that may result from an
unmanaged vulnerability. The integration of the best-in-class
vulnerability data from VulnDB into the Recorded Future analysis
platform enables security teams to not only prioritize the
vulnerabilities needing mitigation more effectively but also enrich
and enhance their ability to respond to indicators of compromise.

The Recorded Future Connect partner program is laser focused on
providing intelligence that helps teams make faster, more confident
decisions by integrating rich threat intelligence into all security
processes. Today, partners represent leading SIEM, incident response,
ticketing, link analysis, security infrastructure, security
orchestration and automation, vulnerability management, and threat
intelligence platform (TIP) solutions.

“In 2018 alone, more than 22,000 vulnerabilities were added to the
VulnDB database – more than any security team could manually identify
and analyze on their own, never mind the actual patching and
mitigation when a company is at risk. We’re proud to partner with Risk
Based Security and believe the goal they’re working toward is
foundational to cybersecurity teams’ ability to protect their
organizations.” – Glenn Wong, Director of Product Management and
Technology Partnerships, Recorded Future

VulnDB contains over 67,000 additional vulnerabilities not found in
the frequently relied-upon Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE)
database, and a much higher degree of information for each
vulnerability, providing the richest, most complete vulnerability
intelligence available.  VulnDB helps customers better address points
of risk across their organization – from application development and
IT infrastructure management to security operations, vendor risk
management, and procurement.

“Better data matters when it comes to effectively prioritizing and
remediating vulnerabilities,” said Jake Kouns, Chief Information
Security Officer at Risk Based Security. “With the VulnDB Intelligence
Card extension for Recorded Future, our joint customers can access
VulnDB’s extensive vulnerability intelligence from within the Recorded
Future platform to provide additional valuable context and better
respond to growing threats.”
