Understanding the Mapping of High-Fidelity Attacks to Risk Prioritization

Overview

In Saner CVEM, vulnerabilities flagged under the High-Fidelity Attacks category within the Vulnerability Management module are automatically classified under the Act category in the Risk Prioritization Management module.

This mapping ensures that vulnerabilities known to be actively exploited or posing a significant threat are highlighted as top priority, enabling security teams to take immediate remediation actions.

Why This Matters

• High Fidelity Attacks represent vulnerabilities with verified exploitation in the wild.

• Mapping them to the Act category ensures alignment between detection and response workflows.

• This classification helps organizations:

  • Focus remediation efforts where the risk is highest.

  • Reduce exposure to actively exploited vulnerabilities.

  • Strengthen security posture by addressing urgent threats first.
