Vulnerability Priority Rating

Boost risk prioritization with AI-driven insights

CVSS categorizes 60% of vulnerabilities as high or critical. Stop guessing which to fix first. Quickly identify your highest-risk vulnerabilities to prioritize fixes and cut through all the alert noise.

Get precise vulnerability prioritization with AI-powered VPR

Reduce noise, focus on real threats and predict future risks with built-in intelligence.

Sharpen focus and precision

VPR pinpoints the 1.6%^* of exposures that truly pose a risk.

Unlock AI-driven insights

Large language model (LLM)-generated threat summaries and remediation guidance accelerate response time.

Prioritize with context

New metadata shows if threat actors are targeting your industry/region.

See how it works

Know the 1.6% of vulnerabilities you need to focus on.

VPR calculates prioritization nightly for more than 280,000 distinct vulnerabilities.

It predicts if a threat actor will exploit a vulnerability in the near future.

It gives each vulnerability a priority rating on a scale from 0 to 10.

The result is a 98.4% reduction in the number of vulnerabilities requiring immediate remediation.

Focus on the vulnerabilities that matter most

Use VPR for real-time risk prioritization to remediate with confidence.

Real-time risk scoring

VPR dynamically adjusts risk scores in real time based on the latest threat intelligence, ensuring you always prioritize the vulnerabilities that pose the greatest risk to your organization.

Exploit likelihood modeling

PR leverages artificial intelligence, machine learning and real-world exploit data to predict which vulnerabilities attackers are most likely to weaponize, reducing wasted effort on low-risk issues.

Actionable context and insights

VPR delivers AI-generated threat summaries and remediation insights to help you quickly understand real-world risks and next steps.

Drive higher prioritization efficiency with Tenable

The Tenable team rigorously tested VPR against CVSS, EPSS and CISA KEV, showing significant real-world impact:

Up to

reduction in remediation workloads.¹

By reducing the volume of CVEs requiring action from ~160K (CVSS-based) to ~4K (VPR-based) while maintaining strong exploit coverage², you achieve substantial operational time savings. Your security teams can focus resources on vulnerabilities that truly matter, freeing up analyst hours, minimizing fatigue and accelerating time to remediation.

Gain

higher efficiency.

Reducing remediation workloads means higher efficiency. VPR gives you more balance between remediation workload and actual risk by recognizing not all CVEs are business-impacting. You achieve 14% effective remediation compared to legacy VPR (7%) and CVSS (0%).⁴ Your teams focus resources on vulnerabilities attackers actually target, reducing alert noise while maximizing security impact.

Test methodology and results: Enhanced VPR Technical Whitepaper.
Coverage = % of vulnerabilities observed under active exploitation that VPR prioritized.
Efficiency reflects the percentage of CVEs identified for remediation by the prioritization strategy that attackers subsequently exploited. Refer to ‘Efficiency’ in Enhanced VPR Technical Whitepaper.
CVSS does not effectively discriminate between actively exploited CVEs, forcing you to remediate all high and critical vulnerabilities.

Disclaimer: Recent enhancements to VPR are currently available in Tenable Vulnerability Management. These enhancements will be made available in other relevant Tenable products at a later date.
