Vulnerability Management

Fix the Vulnerabilities That Actually Matter

ORDR maps CVEs to every connected device — including the IoT and OT assets your scanner can't touch — and prioritizes the ones with real exploit risk so your team works the right list.

CVE Mapping

Find Vulnerabilities Traditional Scanners Miss

Standard vulnerability scanners were built for managed IT endpoints. They miss medical devices, PLCs, IP cameras, and other IoT/OT assets that don't support agents and can be destabilized by active scanning. ORDR fingerprints every device without scanning it — then maps firmware and software versions to the NVD CVE database to identify vulnerabilities passively.

  • Agentless CVE mapping via passive device fingerprinting
  • Safe for fragile IoT, OT, and IoMT devices — no active scanning required
  • Firmware version tracking with automatic CVE correlation on new disclosures
  • SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) generation per device for supply chain visibility

Risk Prioritization

Patch the Right Vulnerabilities First

The average enterprise has thousands of open CVEs. Trying to patch everything leads to alert fatigue and misallocated effort. ORDR scores each vulnerability against three dimensions: exploit probability (is this actively being exploited in the wild?), device criticality (what happens if this device goes down?), and network exposure (can an attacker reach this device?). The result is a short list of high-priority fixes.

  • Exploit probability scoring using threat intelligence feeds
  • Device criticality weighting based on function, location, and connectivity
  • Network exposure analysis — isolated devices score lower than internet-facing ones
  • Risk-ranked remediation queue updated continuously as new CVEs are published

Compensating Controls

Handle Vulnerabilities That Can't Be Patched

IoT and OT devices often can't be patched — vendor contracts, FDA regulations, production availability, or simply the fact that no patch exists. For these devices, ORDR recommends compensating controls: network segmentation policies that isolate the device, communication allow-lists that limit blast radius, and monitoring rules that detect exploitation attempts.

  • Automatic segmentation policy recommendations for unpatachable devices
  • Communication allow-lists scoped to required device functions only
  • Behavioral monitoring baselines to detect CVE exploitation in real time
  • Integration with ITSM platforms to track compensating control lifecycle

Reporting & Metrics

Vulnerability Metrics That Actually Mean Something

ORDR's vulnerability management dashboard gives security teams and leadership the metrics they need: total exposure by device class, mean time to remediation, percentage of devices with critical CVEs, and trend lines that show whether your program is improving. Reports are audit-ready and map findings to NIST, CIS Controls, and other frameworks.

  • Executive dashboard with total exposure, trend, and remediation velocity
  • Device-class breakdown: IT vs IoT vs OT vs IoMT vulnerability posture
  • Mean time to remediation (MTTR) tracking with SLA alerting
  • Framework-mapped reports for NIST CSF, CIS Controls, and HIPAA

What Our Customers Say

"Before ORDR, we had no idea what firmware versions our infusion pumps were running. Now we get CVE alerts the moment a new disclosure hits."

CISO
Regional Health System

"ORDR's risk scoring cut our remediation queue from 4,000 CVEs down to 47 that actually mattered. Our team finally stopped drowning."

Director of Vulnerability Management
Global Manufacturing Firm

"The compensating controls recommendations were invaluable for our legacy OT environment. We could protect devices we couldn't patch."
