Patch what attackers can use. Contain what cannot wait.

Modern vulnerability management needs SOC context: exploitation intelligence, asset exposure, identity paths, and operational ownership.

Risk signals

Severity is a starting point, not a queue.

IronSOC turns vulnerability findings into operational decisions by showing which flaws are exploitable, exposed, reachable, and tied to important services.

Known exploited status

Internet exposure

Asset criticality

Reachability and privilege path

Exploit maturity

Compensating controls

Normalize scanner noise

Unify scanner, cloud, container, SBOM, and external exposure findings into one queue.

Prioritize attacker-ready risk

Score flaws by exploitation, reachability, business service, owner, and available mitigations.

Drive remediation loops

Route work, verify closure, track exceptions, and add detections when patching cannot happen immediately — then nag until the root cause is gone, not just the ticket closed.

From patch backlog to attack-path reduction.

Prioritize CISA KEV and other exploited-in-the-wild intelligence.

Apply segmentation, WAF rules, EDR policy, or access controls while remediation is pending.

Create detections for exploitation attempts against assets that remain exposed.

Vulnerability lifecycle

From discovery to closure

IronSOC tracks every vulnerability from initial discovery through prioritization, remediation, verification, and exception management.

Discovery & normalization

Scanner, cloud, container, SBOM, and external exposure findings are ingested, deduplicated, and normalized into a single queue with consistent severity scoring.

Risk-based prioritization

Each finding is scored by exploitation status (KEV, EPSS), internet exposure, asset criticality, reachability from attacker vantage points, and availability of compensating controls.

Remediation routing

Prioritized work is routed to asset owners with clear SLAs. Tickets include context: why this vulnerability matters, what the exploit looks like, and what compensating controls exist.

Compensating controls

When patches cannot be applied immediately, IronSOC deploys compensating controls: WAF rules, EDR policies, network segmentation, access restrictions, and exploitation detection rules.

Verification & closure

Patches and mitigations are verified through rescanning and validation. Closed vulnerabilities are tracked for regression. Exceptions are documented with risk acceptance.

Daily analysis & the nag

Every day the system re-analyzes the estate. If the same vulnerability — or the same underlying root cause — is still there, it says so again. Recurring findings escalate from tickets to structural recommendations: segment the network, retire the pattern, fix the pipeline that keeps reintroducing it. It does not get tired of asking.
