Can You Prove a New CVE Is Exploitable Before Attackers Do? Learn How in This Webinar
Picus Security will host a Hacker News webinar on validating whether new CVEs are exploitable by mapping them to attack techniques against real controls.
The Hacker News is promoting a sponsored webinar led by Ishak Celikkanat, Solutions Architect Lead at Picus, on proving CVE exploitability before attackers act. The session covers mapping vulnerabilities to attack techniques and validating them against existing controls instead of relying on severity scores alone, arguing that Mythos-class AI compresses the time between disclosure and working exploitation.

A new CVE drops. Your scanner finds it. The severity score looks ugly.
But that still does not answer the question that matters: Can it actually be exploited in your environment?
Mythos-class AI is compressing the time between disclosure and working exploitation, while many security programs still validate risk on weekly or quarterly cycles. The dangerous gap is no longer just technical. It is measured in time.
Can’t join live? Register anyway. We’ll send the webinar recording after the session, so you can watch it later, whenever it fits your schedule, and still see the full, fresh CVE-to-validation workflow.
Stop prioritizing on severity alone
A high score tells you a vulnerability could be serious. It does not prove that an attacker can use it against you.
Security teams need faster answers:
- Is the affected asset exposed?
- What attack techniques does exploitation require?
- Do existing controls stop those techniques?
- Is the final verdict blocked or exploitable here?
That is the validation loop Ishak Celikkanat, Solutions Architect Lead at Picus, will demonstrate live at our next webinar "How to Prove You're Ready for Mythos-Class Attacks."
What if you cannot safely run the exploit?
Production systems are not always safe places to test live exploit code.
The session shows how teams can map a vulnerability to its attack techniques and validate those behaviors against real controls instead — giving defenders evidence even when direct exploitation is impractical.
The goal is simple: replace assumptions with a defensible answer while the finding still matters.
If your environment changes within minutes but your validation takes weeks, that gap deserves attention.
