Risk-Based Prioritization (CVSS+)
BEAK Security goes beyond standard CVSS scores to provide context-aware vulnerability prioritization that reflects actual risk to your organization.
CVSS+ Scoring
Standard CVSS Enrichment
Base CVSS scores are enriched with:
- Exploit Availability — Is there a known exploit in the wild?
- Exploit Maturity — Proof-of-concept vs. weaponized exploit
- Threat Intelligence — Active exploitation by threat actors
- EPSS Score — Exploit Prediction Scoring System probability
Asset Context
Vulnerability severity is weighted by asset importance:
- Business Criticality — Production servers score higher than dev workstations
- Data Sensitivity — Assets handling PII, financial, or health data are prioritized
- Network Exposure — Internet-facing assets rank above internal-only
- User Impact — Executive and admin endpoints receive elevated priority
Risk Score Calculation
| Factor | Weight | Source |
|---|---|---|
| CVSS Base Score | 30% | NVD/Vendor advisory |
| Exploit Availability | 25% | Threat intelligence feeds |
| Asset Criticality | 25% | BEAK ITAM asset classification |
| Network Exposure | 20% | Network topology analysis |
