What is our primary use case?
My main use case for VulnCheck is vulnerability checks, which allows us to check what vulnerabilities we have in our dependencies, ensuring we are on the latest versions of the dependencies we are using in the code, and it also manages the CVSS score.
The primary use case of VulnCheck is to enhance our vulnerability management by helping us identify vulnerabilities that are already actively exploited. For example, the CVSS score of Log4j, which is a well-known vulnerability, can be easily detected across all modules and potentially entangled between different modules. These are critical scenarios as we prioritize our remediation efforts based on exploit intelligence rather than relying solely on CVSS scores.
When VulnCheck flagged the Log4j vulnerability, it provided an alert to the security team, which was handed over as a Jira ticket. We fixed it right away. It was not a production issue because production had a version without that CVSS score, but the vulnerability was real and we checked everything behind the VPN.
I use VulnCheck for vulnerability checks, as we prioritize vulnerabilities across the entire infrastructure, allowing our security team to focus on critical risks, reducing remediation time by presenting everything on one page and improving the overall vulnerability management system.
What is most valuable?
VulnCheck offers helpful endpoint security, providing centralized visibility and enabling us to automate incident response effectively, translating that to the actual team responsible for fixes. Additionally, we really appreciate its backup and disaster recovery features and commendable network access control.
The biggest benefit of automated incident response with VulnCheck is reducing overall time in identifying and solving problems right away, which has reduced our mean time to recovery in scenarios where we need to identify vulnerabilities, as we already have complete information on the page to address the exact issue.
VulnCheck positively impacts our organization by allowing us to manage our secrets properly. We use the platform to detect exposed APIs, passwords, tokens, and other sensitive credentials across source codes or repositories, ensuring no API is exposed during our CI/CD pipeline and allowing us to maintain strong security policies for our cloud applications.
VulnCheck's early exploit visibility has positively influenced our threat response strategy by enabling us to check vulnerabilities faster while reducing overall time. We utilize a bot called Raccoon that creates a PR based on this exploitation data.
The scanless exposure insight feature of VulnCheck effectively provides exposure mapping without active scanning, as it maps everything first and only checks for changes, which saves time during CI/CD runs.
We have utilized the Initial Access Intelligence artifacts to better understand how attackers gain access to our systems, significantly improving our security posture by supporting faster threat hunting.
We have utilized VulnCheck's machine-readable threat intelligence feeds and API integrations, automating threat responses and eliminating manual analysis, giving us an edge in managing vulnerabilities.
What needs improvement?
I'm not completely sure how VulnCheck can be improved, but based on my experience, it does what it says, covering most features reliably. However, I suggest improvements in the reporting dashboard and customization for management understanding.
For the needed improvements, I would recommend making it simpler, as the current reporting is more catered to engineering, while management should easily access the dashboard. It should be straightforward enough for anyone to check.
Regarding VulnCheck's AI capabilities, I find that it currently lacks AI-driven capabilities. It mainly utilizes vulnerability checks and could benefit from integrating a small chatbot for better prioritization and summarization of vulnerabilities.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working in my current field for two and a half years.

We previously used Tenable but switched due to pricing issues. This switch was not something I directly decided.
What was our ROI?
We have seen a return on investment, observing a reduction of 20% to 30% in critical and high-risk vulnerabilities due to the automated end-to-end flow, which significantly enhances our efficiency.
What other advice do I have?
We have covered everything around VulnCheck's aspects that need discussion.
I have not utilized the operational exploit artifacts provided by VulnCheck.
I'm not using the Canary Intelligence feature. The security team manages it, and they may be utilizing it, but I do not have extensive information on that.
We have observed a measurable reduction in our vulnerability backlog since using VulnCheck, estimating a decrease of 20% to 35% for high-priority vulnerabilities and reducing our mean time to remediation for critical vulnerabilities by around 30%. I would rate this review an 8 out of 10.
