A Vulnium product

Pythia

The oracle for your CTEM cycle.

Every day, Pythia reads the same advisories your analysts do — CISA KEV, vendor PSIRTs, threat-intelligence feeds — and answers the question that actually matters: does this affect us? Each verdict is assessed against your real vendors, assets and controls, backed by written reasoning, and delivered as a short list of actions your team can execute.

The problem

Exposure data is generic. Your risk isn't.

Scanners and threat feeds describe the world's attack surface, not yours. Deciding which of this week's advisories actually apply — to your firmware versions, your controls, your exposure — is manual analyst work: slow, repetitive, and rarely documented. In CTEM terms, that decision is the Validation phase, and in most programs it still runs by hand.

CTEM coverage

Built for the CTEM cycle, not bolted onto it

Continuous Threat Exposure Management structures security work into five repeating phases. Pythia automates the validation phase end-to-end and feeds the phases on either side of it. Combined with Vulnium's assessment and offensive-security services, every phase of the cycle has an owner, a deliverable, and evidence behind it.

PHASE 01

Scoping

Define what matters.

Your environment profile — vendors, critical assets, controls, geography — is built with Vulnium consultants and maintained as a living document. It isn't a workshop artifact that goes stale in a drawer: it's the machine-readable scope Pythia reasons against on every run.

PHASE 02

Discovery

Know what you're exposed to.

Vulnium vulnerability assessments and scanning establish the internal exposure baseline. In parallel, Pythia continuously ingests the external signal — CISA KEV and alerts, vendor PSIRT feeds, OTX, abuse.ch, MITRE ATT&CK and research publications — so new threats enter the cycle within hours of disclosure, not at the next quarterly review.

PHASE 03

Prioritization

Rank by impact on your business.

Pythia rates every incoming threat High / Medium / Low / Not applicable for your environment specifically, with written reasoning and the exact assets affected. Generic severity scores are the input, not the output — a CVSS 9.8 in a product you don't run is filed as noise, a CVSS 6 in your internet-facing stack is flagged for action.

PHASE 04

Validation

Confirm what's real.

Two complementary layers. Pythia validates continuously: is this exploited in the wild, does it reach a vendor and version you actually run, do your stated controls already reduce it — re-checked daily as the situation develops. Vulnium validates adversarially: scheduled penetration tests and red-team engagements prove exploitability in practice on what the cycle surfaces, and confirm your detections fire.

PHASE 05

Mobilization

Act, track, and close the loop.

Validated findings become a prioritized P1/P2/P3 checklist with concrete steps, source links and live status tracking — the artifact leadership reviews and analysts execute. Vulnium hardening and SOC services carry the work through where teams need hands. Environment-specific remediation planning — mitigate-versus-patch decisions, HA-safe patch sequences, post-exposure compromise checks — is on the near-term roadmap.

How it works

From a hundred advisories to three decisions

Every run follows the same auditable pipeline. Content-only stages use a fast hosted model; every stage that reads your environment profile runs on a local model inside your infrastructure.

Scheduled
Collect

CISA KEV & Alerts, vendor PSIRT feeds, OTX, abuse.ch, MITRE ATT&CK, research blogs and social aggregators.

Hosted model
Enrich

Summarize each item; extract CVEs, ATT&CK TTPs, threat actors and affected products. Article content only — never your profile.

Local model
Validate

Assess each item against your profile: High / Medium / Low / N-A, with written reasoning and the specific assets affected.

Local model
Recommend

Consolidate validated High/Medium items into a prioritized P1/P2/P3 checklist with concrete steps and source links.

Your channels
Distribute

Microsoft Teams card, leadership dashboard, and a printable briefing pack. Free-form Q&A with cited answers on demand.

Architecture

Enforced in code, verifiable in audit

Feeding threat intelligence to a hosted model is easy. Answering "where did our data go?" in a vendor security review is not. Pythia was architected for that question, and both guarantees below hold up to code inspection during due diligence.

Fail-closed privacy boundary

Your environment profile cannot reach a hosted model — not by misconfiguration, not by accident. A guard in the hosted-model client rejects any profile-bearing request, and the routing rule that pins profile stages to the local model cannot be overridden from configuration.

Verifiable audit trail

Every model call is recorded with provider, model, token counts, cost, and profile bytes sent. The audit view reduces the privacy guarantee to a single number your legal or compliance team can query themselves — evidence in the form SOC 2 and cyber-insurance reviews actually ask for.

Capabilities

What your team gets

Executive view

Today's validated High and Medium items, run status and trend indicators — a five-minute read, current every morning.

Traceable verdicts

Every rating links to a public source and a specific profile match. Recommendations arrive with their evidence attached.

Q&A on your corpus

"Does CVE-X affect us?" answered in seconds with inline citations, on a local model — optionally augmented with vetted public sources.

Actionable checklist

P1/P2/P3 items with concrete steps, owner-friendly status tracking, and a printable briefing pack for the board.

Hardened ingestion

Content from authoritative domains is treated as evidence; everything else is handled as untrusted input with prompt-injection safeguards.

Full run history

Every pipeline run is a permanent record — timing, cost, stage-by-stage events — so the process itself is auditable, not just the output.
