Application scanning
Web applications, APIs and services scanned continuously for known vulnerabilities, injection flaws, authentication weaknesses and misconfigurations. OWASP Top 10 coverage without scan windows.
Kervo AI · Evaluate
Vulnerabilities ranked by the risk they pose to you.
Kervo AI scans application, cloud, network and code continuously, then reranks every vulnerability by severity, exploitability and business impact: a risk score tailored to your organisation instead of a CVSS number.

[ The problem ]
The problem with severity scores
CVSS describes how bad a vulnerability is in general. It cannot know whether an exploit is circulating, whether anyone can reach the affected system, or what that system means to your business. A 9.8 scores 9.8 on your payment gateway and on a decommissioned test box.
So teams work a backlog of thousands in an order unrelated to risk, and engineering learns that "critical" does not mean critical.
[ What Kervo AI does ]
What Kervo AI does
Every vulnerability gets a risk score built for your organisation from three factors:
- Severity: the technical severity of the flaw, CVSS included, as the starting point rather than the answer.
- Exploitability: whether a public exploit exists, whether it is listed in CISA KEV, whether it is being used in the wild, and whether the vulnerable system can actually be reached.
- Business impact: how critical the asset is to you, what data it holds, what it connects to, and whether it sits on an attack path to something that matters.

The result is a ranking that fits your organisation rather than a generic one. Actionable lists routinely collapse from thousands to dozens, with nothing suppressed.

02
Cloud vulnerability detection
Vulnerable machine images, unpatched managed services and container image CVEs across AWS, Azure and GCP, alongside CSPM, so a vulnerable service and its overpermissioned role appear as one connected finding.
03
Network scanning
Built in, with no separate scanner to license. Device discovery, open ports, running services, OS versions and hardening checks against CIS benchmarks.
04
Code and dependency scanning
Repositories and dependency manifests scanned for known CVEs, integrated into CI/CD so issues surface before deployment.
05
Tailored risk scoring
Severity, exploitability and business impact combined into one risk score, applied to findings from all four scanners at once and recalculated as the environment changes. Set asset criticality and business context once, and every score reflects it.
06
Risk acceptance and exception handling
Accept findings that won't be remediated, with rationale, approver and expiry. They stay visible, leave the working list, and appear in compliance reports as a functioning risk process.
[ How it works ]
How it works
Scanning is table stakes. The ranking is the product. Kervo AI runs its scanners continuously against the live inventory, so a workload provisioned this morning is in scope this morning. No agents are needed for network, cloud or external coverage.
Findings land in the same graph that powers attack path analysis. When a new CVE drops, Kervo AI tells you which hosts are affected, then which attack paths just opened.
[ One data model ]
Why one platform ranks better than separate tools
Standalone scanners can rank by CVSS and exploit availability. They can't weigh business impact properly, because they don't know what an asset holds, what it connects to or whether it sits on an attack path. That context only exists when one system holds your inventory, cloud, identity and exposure data.
[ FAQ ]Vulnerability Management
What is risk-based vulnerability management?
Prioritising vulnerabilities by the risk they pose to your organisation rather than CVSS alone: severity, exploitability and business impact combined into one score.
How is the risk score calculated?
It combines three factors. Severity, including the CVSS score. Exploitability: public exploit code, CISA KEV listing, in-the-wild activity and whether the system is reachable. Business impact: how critical the asset is, the data it holds and the attack paths it sits on. Asset criticality comes from your tags or is derived automatically, so the score reflects your organisation.
Does Kervo AI require agents?
No agents for network, cloud or external scanning. Application and code scanning may use lightweight CI/CD integrations.
How often does scanning run?
Continuously, against the live asset inventory. Newly provisioned assets enter scope automatically.
Can we suppress false positives?
Yes. Suppression and risk acceptance both record rationale, approver and expiry, and stay auditable.
Does this replace our existing vulnerability scanner?
For most mid-market teams, yes. Larger organisations often keep their scanner, connect it through Orchestrate, and use Kervo AI for ranking.
