Can Edgescan Look For Anomalies In Critical Vulnerabilities And Trends?
Critical Findings & Trends highlights critical and high-risk vulnerabilities, analyzes recurring weakness patterns by CWE, and maps findings to the OWASP Top 10. This gives security teams and leadership a clear understanding of both immediate threats and systemic trends.

How it works?
-
Vulnerability Identification
Edgescan scans and validates vulnerabilities across assets, including web applications, APIs, networks, and cloud systems. -
Critical Findings Highlighting
AI Insights flags vulnerabilities commonly classified as critical or high risk, including remote code execution flaws such as Log4Shell (CVE-2021-44228), ProxyLogon, and BlueKeep (CVE-2019-0708). -
CWE Trends Analysis
Vulnerabilities are grouped by Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) to identify systemic weaknesses, such as Cross-site Scripting (CWE-79), Cryptographic Issues (CWE-310), and Buffer Overflows (CWE-119). -
OWASP Top 10 Mapping
Findings are mapped to OWASP Top 10 categories, showing how vulnerabilities align with globally recognized application security risks like Injection (A03), Broken Access Control (A01), and Cryptographic Failures (A02). -
Asset Correlation
Critical vulnerabilities are tied back to the affected assets, allowing targeted remediation where risk concentration is highest.
Features & Benefits
-
Immediate Risk Visibility: Quickly identify critical vulnerabilities across your environment.
-
Systemic Weakness Detection: Understand recurring CWE patterns that indicate process or design flaws.
-
OWASP Alignment: Map vulnerabilities to industry-recognized categories for clearer communication and prioritization.
-
Targeted Remediation: Pinpoint high-risk assets requiring urgent attention.
-
Strategic Insights: Highlight long-term security themes, supporting improvements in secure development and infrastructure management.
Common Use-Cases
-
Critical Risk Response: Prioritize patching and mitigation for actively exploited vulnerabilities such as Log4Shell, BlueKeep, and ProxyLogon.
-
Trend Analysis: Identify recurring weaknesses (e.g., XSS, cryptographic failures) that require changes in development practices or training.
-
Executive Reporting: Provide leadership with clear insights on both immediate high-risk exposures and longer-term security trends.
-
OWASP-Based Security Programs: Align remediation with OWASP Top 10 categories to improve audit readiness and compliance.
-
Continuous Security Improvement: Use recurring CWE and OWASP findings to inform secure coding standards, DevSecOps pipelines, and architecture reviews.
