What problem does it solve?
SOC teams often run vulnerability scans that produce unprioritized findings, miss active exploitation, and lack formal remediation tracking. This Skill establishes a complete recurring vulnerability assessment program covering scan configuration, risk-based prioritization, SIEM correlation, SLA enforcement, and automated ticketing.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Scan Configuration: Create credentialed Nessus and Qualys scan policies via API with scheduled weekly execution across network segments.
- Risk-Based Prioritization: Combine CVSS scores with asset criticality and CISA KEV data to compute risk scores that surface actively exploited vulnerabilities first.
- SIEM Integration: Correlate scan results with IDS/IPS alerts in Splunk to detect vulnerabilities under active exploitation and alert on KEV findings on critical assets.
- Remediation Tracking: Build SLA compliance dashboards and auto-create ServiceNow tickets for high-risk findings.
- Use Case: A SOC team needs to respond to a newly published zero-day — run a targeted scan, cross-reference results against the CISA KEV catalog, and generate prioritized tickets with 24-hour SLAs for affected production hosts.
Quick Start
Build a weekly credentialed Nessus scanning workflow for our 10.0.0.0/16 network with KEV-based prioritization, Splunk exploitation correlation, and ServiceNow ticketing for critical findings.
