Relevant CERT & CVE Alerts for Your Infrastructure
Blackfort Threat Exposure Filter
From thousands of CERT advisories and CVEs, filter only the ones that are truly relevant to your infrastructure.
Hundreds of CVEs and CERT warnings are published every day. Security teams are overwhelmed filtering and prioritizing them. The Blackfort Threat Exposure Filter solves this: it knows your infrastructure and filters only the threats that are genuinely relevant to you — with a clear risk assessment and recommended action.
Core Capabilities
Infrastructure Mapping
The filter knows your asset landscape and automatically matches incoming CVEs and CERT advisories against the products and systems you actually run.
Risk-Based Prioritization
Not every critical CVE is relevant to your environment. The filter scores findings by CVSS severity, exploit availability, and your specific infrastructure context.
Automated Alerting
Relevant threats are escalated immediately via email, Slack, or ITSM ticket to the responsible teams — before attackers act on publicly disclosed vulnerabilities.
Patch Management Integration
Direct integration with common patch management tools for automatic creation of patching tasks, mapped to the assets and owners that need to act.
Typical Use Cases
- Reduce alert noise in your security team
- Prioritized patch management based on real exposure
- Threat intelligence tailored to your infrastructure
- Automated processing of CERT newsletter streams
- Compliance with vulnerability management requirements under NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001

Send RequestRegulatory Context
Vulnerability management and CVE monitoring are explicit requirements under NIS2 (Art. 21 – vulnerability handling), DORA (Art. 10 – ICT risk management), and ISO 27001 (Annex A.8.8 – management of technical vulnerabilities). The Threat Exposure Filter drastically reduces daily processing overhead while simultaneously delivering the documentation auditors need as evidence of a functioning vulnerability management process.
Real-World Scenarios
Security team processing 200+ CVEs daily
A security team of three analysts processes over 200 CVE advisories and CERT warnings per day. Ninety percent are irrelevant to their infrastructure. The Threat Exposure Filter reduces the incoming stream to genuinely relevant alerts — with clear risk prioritization and direct ticket creation.
IT department with a monthly patch backlog
An IT department must prioritize hundreds of software updates each month. Without infrastructure mapping, all updates are treated equally. The Threat Exposure Filter knows the deployed software and hardware and prioritizes by actual risk — CVSS score alone is not enough.
KRITIS operator under NIS2 reporting obligation
A critical infrastructure operator must report significant security incidents within 24 hours under NIS2. This requires detecting known vulnerabilities before they are exploited. The Threat Exposure Filter alerts immediately when a relevant CVE with an active exploit appears — before attackers move.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the filter learn about our infrastructure?
Initial onboarding is via integration with your CMDB, asset discovery tools, or manual input. The asset inventory is then continuously updated as your environment changes.
Which CERT sources are processed?
BSI, CERT-Bund, CISA KEV, FIRST, NVD/NIST, and vendor-specific security advisories (Microsoft, Cisco, VMware, and many more).
Is patch management available as a separate service?
Yes. We offer patch management as a managed service. The Threat Exposure Filter integrates seamlessly into that process.
