The Exposure Clock helps organizations visualize how the threat landscape changes over time, providing context that can inform their exposure management program and pentesting schedule.

This tool allows security professionals to identify the number of exploitable vulnerabilities that impact them, a powerful capability for security operations and exposure management programs. “The average gap between pentests is orders of magnitude greater than that of the rate KEV disclosures. We wanted security teams to be able to see that gap for themselves" said Melvin Lammerts, Head of Hacking &amp; Solutions at Hadrian Hadrian’s Exposure Clock provides: <ul type="disc"><li>Counts of all publicly disclosed CVEs during a selected period</li><li>A breakdown of externally exploitable CVEs and Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEVs)</li><li>The ability to search/filter by vendor, application or technology</li><li>Notable vulnerabilities exploited in that time frame</li></ul> The tool reflects a broader shift Hadrian is seeing among security teams, away from fixed, calendar-based testing schedules and toward continuous validation of external exposure.
