Defend Smarter, Not Harder: The Power of Curated Vulnerability Intelligence

Oct 29 2025

Let’s be honest, we as an industry spend far too long responding to issues that simply don’t matter. Chasing down false positives, reviewing threat intelligence reports that bear no relation to our sector, and more recently reviewing vulnerability advisories of systems not deployed within the environment. To address this challenge, Rapid7 delivers actionable intelligence through Intelligence Hub, which we announced in April of this year. 

Today marks a day where we are delighted to incorporate vulnerability intelligence within Rapid7’s Command Platform. The purpose of this capability is to identify the vulnerabilities that actually matter, rather than relying on generic security ratings or trying to decipher whether the amber rating is dark orange or not.  

Our approach within Rapid7 has always been focused on quality curation over sheer volume to deliver high-fidelity intelligence - because information without context isn't intelligence, it's just noise. Across Rapid7 Labs, our teams of experts, assisted by our proprietary AI/ML analysis, work to actively cut through the constant noise of raw threat data, transforming it into actionable, contextualized insights delivered across the Rapid7 Command Platform

Instead of overwhelming security teams, we surface only the most critical findings regarding actively exploited vulnerabilities, threat actors, and their motivations. This high-fidelity intelligence enables faster prioritization and mitigation of the risks that genuinely matter.

How Rapid7 curates vulnerability intelligence that actually matters

Research led vulnerability intelligence has been a core strategy within Rapid7 Labs for many years. It allows us to reactively defend against current threats through comprehensive technical analysis, product coverage, and subject matter expert led decision making. It also allows us to proactively identify and remediate new vulnerabilities long before the threat actors can leverage them. 

We do this through our zero day research, where we find and coordinate disclosure of new high impact vulnerabilities, giving our customers industry first coverage and strengthening the broader cybersecurity ecosystem. The next step in this strategy is curating our vulnerability intelligence capabilities directly into our products.

Explore CVEs by Threat Actor, Exploitability, and Impact

With Intelligence Hub, we started an evolution that aims to deliver this curated, high-fidelity threat intelligence. Starting next month, Intelligence Hub will deliver a new, comprehensive view into critical vulnerabilities via curated CVE profiles. These profiles will provide security teams with the context needed for actionable, adversary-aware prioritization of threats that pose the highest risk to their organization before they escalate. 

Expertly curated by the Rapid7 Labs Vulnerability Intelligence team, the new CVE Library will serve as your organization’s tailored, trusted source of which CVEs are actively exploited, by whom, and what impact they have to your environment by providing:

  • CVE properties based on public metadata, along with available Metasploit Modules for teams to identify, exploit, and perform post-exploitation actions on CVEs.

  • AttackerKB assessments for comprehensive analysis into the critical vulnerabilities that matter and how any exploit works. 

  • Threat actor and campaign details curated from proprietary Rapid7 Labs vulnerability and threat research.

  • MITRE ATT&CK mapping of TTPs (coming early 2026)

  • Dark web mentions Take back control - understand what will likely be exploited next with our proprietary ‘Probabilistic likelihood of exploitation’ assessment (coming early 2026).

Accelerate exposure remediation with Intelligence Hub & Remediation Hub

The same curated threat actor and campaign insights from Intelligence Hub’s CVE profiles will also be integrated into Remediation Hub alongside new AI-powered remediation guidance, helping security teams to prioritize the most impactful remediations. With one click, joint customers can seamlessly pivot to Intelligence Hub’s detailed Threat Actor and Campaigns pages to dive deeper.

This unified approach enables security teams to prioritize actions based on a clear, AI-generated summary, validate the urgency with external, real-world threat actor and campaign insights from Intelligence Hub, and take immediate, informed action - all without leaving Rapid7’s Command Platform.
