NIST's new LEV metric: How does it help companies?

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has unveiled a new metric that promises to revolutionize the way vulnerability management is prioritized. Likely Exploited Vulnerabilities (LEV) is a ranking designed to help organizations focus their efforts on the flaws that cybercriminals are actively using to perpetrate real-world attacks. Thousands of vulnerabilities are reported every year but only a small fraction is exploited in the wild.
