Rapid Response (N-Day Re-test)
When a critical vulnerability becomes public, every hour counts. Rapid Response re-tests your entire target fleet against exactly that CVE with a single call – triggered by up-to-date threat intelligence. Instead of checking manually for days, you see almost instantly whether and where you are exposed.
CTI-triggered via SecTepe.Core; cheap verify scans per target.
What we check
Here is what the Rapid Response covers – concrete and verifiable.
- Targeted re-test of the entire fleet against a specific CVE
- CTI-triggered via SecTepe.Core when newly published critical CVEs land
- Cheap verify scans (a single nuclei template) per target
- Fleet-wide exposure at a glance
- Unambiguous result per target (present / not observed)
- Triggerable with a single API call
Your benefits
What the Rapid Response actually gives you – beyond the pure technology.
Answer in minutes
On the next headline CVE you don't have to guess: one call gives you fleet-wide exposure before others have finished reading the advisory.
Targeted, not expensive
Rapid Response checks only the one relevant vulnerability – as a lean verify scan. Fast, cheap and without a full re-scan.
Proactive via CTI
The threat-intelligence connection triggers the re-test automatically as soon as a critical CVE becomes relevant.
Clear communication
You can give management and clients an immediate, solid answer: affected or not – grounded instead of guessed.
How it works
- 1
CVE trigger
A new critical CVE is detected via threat intelligence (SecTepe.Core).
- 2
Fleet re-test
One API call starts lean verify scans against all targets of the engagement.
- 3
Exposure visible
For each target you immediately see whether the vulnerability is present or not.
- 4
Act
Affected hosts are remediated with priority – followed by re-verification.
Typical findings
- Several hosts exposed to a fresh N-day CVEcritical
- A single legacy host still vulnerablehigh
- Partially patched fleet with residual exposuremedium
- Confirmation: no exposure across the fleetlow
Example finding categories. Actual results depend on your environment.
Use cases
- Immediate response to prominent N-day vulnerabilities
- Fleet-wide exposure analysis in minutes
- Solid status report to management and clients
- Closing the window between disclosure and patch
Frequently asked questions
How “rapid” is it?
The re-test uses lean verify scans with a single template per target. That gives you fleet-wide exposure usually within minutes.
Where does the trigger come from?
The trigger comes from SecTepe.Core's threat intelligence as soon as a new critical CVE becomes relevant. You can also start the re-test yourself via an API call.
Does it stress my systems heavily?
No. It checks only the one vulnerability in a targeted way – it does not re-run the whole engine.
Goes well with
Continuous validation
Security is not a single date: ongoing re-scans, a stable finding history and an always-current risk picture.
Deep scan
The thorough check: active vulnerability tests with verification – not guesses, but proof.
Active Exploitation
From suspicion to proof: controlled exploitation proves a vulnerability unambiguously – in three graded modes.
