Vulnerability risk prioritization made simple with GitLab

Development and security teams are frequently challenged by the overwhelming number of vulnerabilities they must manage, with many organizations addressing fewer than 16% of known vulnerabilities monthly. To efficiently prioritize which security flaws require immediate attention, three key frameworks are utilized: the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS), Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV), and the Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS). The GitLab 17.9 release incorporates these frameworks, allowing teams to strategically prioritize risks across dependency and container image vulnerabilities. CVSS provides a standardized severity rating, KEV focuses on real-world exploit intelligence, and EPSS predicts the likelihood of exploitation within the next 30 days. By integrating these frameworks, security teams can concentrate resources on vulnerabilities that present the most significant risk. GitLab enhances this process with built-in security scanning tools that can be integrated into CI/CD pipelines, generating a vulnerability report that consolidates findings and facilitates informed decision-making. GitLab also offers AI capabilities to assist in explaining and resolving vulnerabilities, further streamlining the vulnerability management process.
