Axonius Threat Intelligence

Axonius Threat Intelligence enriches vulnerability data with additional exploit and threat context, helping you understand which CVEs are more likely to represent real-world risk. Instead of relying only on scanner severity or CVSS, you can see whether a vulnerability is known to be exploited, weaponized, trending, associated with threat actors, ransomware, botnets, or included in KEV sources. This gives your security teams better context for prioritization and helps them focus on vulnerabilities that are more likely to be actively used by attackers.

The data also improves investigation and decision-making by adding exploit timelines, references, affected CPEs, MITRE ATT&CK mappings, targeted industries/countries, and related threat activity directly into Axonius. As a result, your security teams can prioritize faster, reduce noise, and make more informed remediation decisions inside their existing exposure management workflows.
