Emerging Threat Scans
New vulnerabilities are weaponised within hours of disclosure. Vulny closes that window.
How are Emerging Threat Scans different from a normal scan?
A normal vulnerability scan is a point-in-time check; Emerging Threat Scans run continuously in the background between them. Every two hours Vulny imports newly published CVEs from the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) and immediately re-checks every host it has already scanned — comparing the fresh vulnerabilities against the exact software and versions you run. You do not wait for the next scheduled scan to learn you are affected. This matters because new vulnerabilities are frequently weaponised within hours of disclosure, so the dangerous gap is not between annual pentests — it is between yesterday’s scan and today’s newly published exploit. By continuously matching new CVEs against your known attack surface, Vulny shrinks that window from weeks to a couple of hours, and does it automatically without you scheduling or triggering anything.
What happens when a new CVE affects something I run?
The moment a newly published CVE matches software or a version Vulny knows is on your perimeter, it opens an issue and alerts you straight away. You do not have to watch a dashboard or remember to re-scan — the detection is automatic and the notification reaches you the same day the vulnerability is disclosed. Each emerging-threat issue arrives with the usual context: the CVE identifier, its CVSS severity, whether it is on the CISA KEV known-exploited list, its EPSS exploit probability, and the affected host and service. That means you can judge urgency immediately and act before attackers get there. Because the check fires within about two hours of a CVE being published, you typically learn about a relevant new threat well ahead of the window in which mass exploitation usually begins.
How do I see today’s live threats?
Your Vulny dashboard shows, at a glance, how many fresh threats were checked today and which of them actually affect your assets. Rather than a generic feed of every CVE in the world, it filters the day’s newly published vulnerabilities down to the ones that match the software and versions you actually run — so the number you see is your exposure, not background noise. From there you can drill into each live threat to see the affected host, its severity and exploit data, and the recommended fix. This gives you a continuously updated picture of your real-time risk: not “were we secure at the last scan?” but “are we exposed to anything that broke today?”. It is the difference between a static report and a living view of your perimeter.
