Early warning

Early Warning of Upcoming CVE Disclosures

Get ahead of new CVEs on the systems you care about.

Overview

GreyNoise research shows that spikes in traffic targeting older CVEs often precede new CVE disclosures for that same vendor within weeks. These early warnings give organizations time to harden systems, patch, monitor, or block probing IPs.

By detecting shifts in attacker reconnaissance prior to CVE disclosure, GreyNoise provides a critical window of opportunity to prepare before a threat materializes.

How GreyNoise Helps You
Prepare for New CVEs

Provides Time to Prepare

When a new CVE hits critical perimeter systems, it can trigger emergency response and disruption. Early warnings from GreyNoise let teams prepare in advance and minimize impact

Aligns Risk Assessments to Real-World Threat Activity

GreyNoise shows which vendors and technologies are seeing abnormal reconnaissance levels, keeping risk assessments aligned with real-world signals.

Improves Resource Allocation

Defenders can focus investments, patching, and monitoring on upcoming threats most likely to impact them.

Enables Proactive Blocking

Use GreyNoise query-based, dynamic blocklists to stop attacks as your organization patches exposed systems.

State/province where the IP is registered. Adds sub-country geolocation context.
IP Address Metadata
RDNS
Reverse DNS value for the IP. May reveal hostnames tied to services or campaigns.
IP Address Metadata
RDNS Parent
Parent domain of the reverse DNS. Useful for clustering infrastructure.
IP Address Metadata
Mobile
Indicates if the IP belongs to a mobile/cellular network.
IP Address Metadata
Domain
Domain tied to the ASN owner. Provides higher-level ownership context.
IP Address Metadata
Destination Country Codes
ISO codes for countries targeted by scanning. Supports correlation with geo-based IOCs.
IP Address Metadata
Destination Countries
Countries where GreyNoise sensors saw this IP scanning. Indicates target geography.
IP Address Metadata
City
Registered city of the IP. Useful for geolocation context and pivoting.
IP Address Metadata
Category
High-level network type (e.g., hosting, ISP, enterprise).
IP Address Metadata
ASN
Autonomous System Number routing the IP. Helps group malicious infrastructure.
IP Address Metadata
Last Seen Timestamp
Exact date and time the IP was last observed. Enables timeline reconstruction in investigations.
Activity Timeline
Actor
Known or attributed owner/operator of the IP (e.g., research org, ISP, hosting provider). Useful for attribution.
Identity & Ownership
Classification
GreyNoise’s judgment of the IP’s intent: benign, malicious, suspicious, or unknown. Most useful filter for triage.
Classification
Exploitation Details

Exploitation Intelligence
Timeline CVE Last Updated Date
The last date the CVE entry was updated in the database. Useful for tracking changes in severity, affected products, or exploit status.
Timeline & Lifecycle
Timeline CISA KEV Date Added
Date the vulnerability was added to CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. Vulnerabilities in KEV should be prioritized for remediation per federal guidance.
Timeline & Lifecycle
Timeline First Known Published Date
Date when the first exploit associated with the CVE was published.
Timeline & Lifecycle
Timeline CVE Published Date
The date the CVE was first published. Helps determine how long attackers have potentially been aware of the vulnerability.
Timeline & Lifecycle
Timeline
