Contextual Understanding for Informed Decisions:

Traditional CVSS scores provide a narrow view of threats. Rootshell tried to solve this problem by introducing the Daily Exploit Detection Service. This would identify and flag exploitable issues to our clients on a daily basis for all open and historic issues. We found that users, although finding this service very useful, only told part of the story. Enter The Rootshell Platform’s Velma Threat AI, developed to automatically detect vulnerabilities actively exploited by threat actors, equipping you with a broader context to prioritize actions.

Traditional CVSS scores can feel like navigating the vast world of cyber threats with a narrow flashlight. Recognizing this challenge, Rootshell initially introduced the Daily Exploit Detection Service, illuminating exploitable issues for our clients daily. But we knew there was more to the story, more to empower you.

Enter The Rootshell Platform’s Velma Threat AI – a revolution in threat intelligence. Beyond mere detection, Velma provides the panoramic view you need, automatically identifying vulnerabilities exploited in the wild in real-time. This isn’t just data; it’s actionable insight, enriching your understanding and putting you firmly in control. With Velma, you’re not just responding to threats, you’re anticipating them, prioritizing with confidence, and transforming how you protect what matters most.
