About this episode

Jay Jacobs and Michael Roytman discuss the Exploit Prediction Scoring System and its role in prioritizing vulnerabilities for patching.

Finding a huge pile of bugs with Claude Mythos is great, but the logical next step is figuring out how many of those vulnerabilities are likely to be exploited in the near future. Jay Jacobs and Michael Roytman of Empirical Security join Dennis to talk about how the Exploit Prediction Scoring System can help teams make informed decisions and prioritize patching the most important vulnerabilities. Jay and Michael are pioneers in the data-driven security field and help steer the EPSS effort.
