UC2 integration
Informed prioritization
Overview
Our approach to the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) helps organizations better understand and communicate cybersecurity risk by visualizing precision, maturity, and confidence levels in vulnerability assessments.
Enhanced CVSS Understanding
Traditional CVSS scores provide a numerical representation of vulnerability severity, but they don't capture the full picture. Our UC2-enhanced approach adds critical context:
Precision
How accurately the vulnerability can be assessed
Maturity
The level of understanding and documentation of the vulnerability
Confidence
How certain we are about the assessment
Benefits
More Informed Risk Prioritization
Make better decisions about which vulnerabilities to remediate first by understanding not just severity, but confidence and maturity of the assessment.
Better Stakeholder Communication
Communicate uncertainty clearly to leadership and technical teams, building trust through transparency about what you know and don't know.
Improved Resource Allocation
Direct remediation resources more effectively by accounting for both severity and the quality of vulnerability intelligence available.
Enhanced Security Reporting
Provide executive leadership with transparent, defensible reports that clearly express both risk levels and the confidence in those assessments.
How It Works
The UC2 visualization layer sits on top of standard CVSS scores, adding visual indicators that make it immediately clear:
Assess as Normal
Use standard CVSS 4.0 methodology for vulnerability scoring
Apply UC2 Overlay
Add precision, maturity, and confidence dimensions to the score
Communicate Clearly
Share enhanced visualizations with stakeholders for better decisions
