Flashpoint releases “The Flashpoint Method for Threat-Informed Vulnerability Prioritization

This morning, minutes ago, threat intelligence firm Flashpoint released a new report titled “The Flashpoint Method for Threat-Informed Vulnerability Prioritization.”  

The guide provides security teams with the following: 

  1. A clear framework for assessing which vulnerabilities demand immediate attention and why.
  2. A checklist of key prioritization criteria based on real-world exploitation, business impact, and threat intelligence.
  3. Insights into how Flashpoint’s vulnerability intelligence platform and analyst expertise can help put threat-informed vulnerability management into action, at scale.

As organizations expand their digital footprints, the number of vulnerabilities discovered each year climbs, growing faster than the ability of most security teams to respond effectively. With more than 31% of vulnerabilities rated high or critical using CVSSv3, and exploit code publicly available for nearly 42% of all disclosures, teams that rely solely on severity scores realize that it is no longer enough. 

This guide offers a smarter, data-driven approach that helps security teams focus on the vulnerabilities that pose the greatest real-world risk to their specific organizations. Backed by Flashpoint’s proprietary intelligence, this method moves beyond static scoring to incorporate exploit activity, threat actor behavior, business context, and more – so you can cut through the noise and take decisive action faster. 

There will be a two-part blog series as part of the release with the first blog post live at this link.
