This machine learning model forecasts the probability of exploitation of known vulnerabilities by utilizing real-time data contributed by various vendors and monitored activity from over 16,000 Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs). EPSS is unique as it offers both global and local models; the global model integrates real-time exploitation telemetry with EPSS predictions, while the local model is specifically trained on an enterprise's unique environmental and telemetry data, thus enabling tailored decision-making processes. The clientele includes over 120 vendors that leverage the EPSS model to enhance their vulnerability management strategies.Empirical Security generates revenue through a subscription-based model for its EPSS offerings, which may include tiered pricing based on the specific needs of the enterprise and the sophistication of the model implemented. This structure allows clients to access the predictive capabilities of EPSS at varying levels of integration and support, depending on their operational requirements. Additionally, the company may engage in partnerships with vendors to provide enhanced services and data sharing, further solidifying its market presence. The transactions are structured as direct business-to-business (B2B) collaborations, where enterprises subscribe to the services, gaining access to both the global model and the bespoke local models tailored to their data. This approach facilitates consistent revenue flow while ensuring that clients receive ongoing support and updates in a rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape.
