Attaxion, a leading external attack surface management (EASM) vendor known for its industry-leading asset coverage, announced the integration of the European Vulnerability Database (EUVD) into its platform. Operated by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), EUVD offers a new, authoritative source of vulnerability intelligence designed to support regulatory compliance and broaden the scope of vulnerability detection and analysis.

The Importance of EUVD in Vulnerability Management

• Background of EUVD:
  The EUVD was developed in response to the NIS2 Directive and launched in beta in April 2025. It aggregates vulnerability data from multiple stakeholders including CSIRTs, assigning unique EUVD IDs that cross-reference CVEs and provide actionable details such as mitigation steps and exploitation status.

• Addressing CVE Limitations:
  With the recent CVE funding challenges and backlog at NIST, many vulnerabilities remain unassigned CVE identifiers. Attaxion data reveals only 30% of discovered vulnerabilities have CVEs, making EUVD a crucial supplementary resource for comprehensive vulnerability coverage.

How the EUVD Integration Enhances Attaxion’s Platform

• Improved Vulnerability Coverage:
  Every vulnerability identified within an organization's external attack surface will now display its EUVD ID, where applicable, delivering expanded visibility and contextual depth.

• Richer Metadata and Context:
  EUVD data provides additional metadata such as confirmed exploitation, affected products, and references, which are not always available in other global databases. This helps security teams perform faster triage and risk-based prioritization.

• Unified Vulnerability View:
  EUVD IDs are presented alongside existing vulnerability indicators like CVSS scores and CISA KEV data within the Attaxion platform. This integrated view enables comprehensive evaluation of severity, exploitability, and regulatory relevance.

Supporting Compliance and Regulatory Alignment

• The integration directly supports organizations in meeting the requirements of the NIS2 Directive and the forthcoming Cyber Resilience Act by providing region-specific, government-backed intelligence.

• Attaxion’s platform, enriched by EUVD, facilitates a streamlined operational workflow bridging commercial threat intelligence and public sector data, setting a new standard for regulatory alignment in EASM.

Industry Impact and Future Outlook

• First-Mover Advantage:
  As the first EASM platform to integrate EUVD, Attaxion is pioneering interoperability between commercial cybersecurity solutions and public-sector intelligence, helping close critical gaps in external attack surface visibility.

• Strategic Vision:
  "We're constantly working to improve our vulnerability coverage and deliver more meaningful context to our users," said Max Beatty, Head of Growth & Strategy at Attaxion. "The integration of a second independent scoring system with EUVD data expands both the range and depth of vulnerabilities we uncover, empowering organizations with trusted, region-specific insights to make better-informed decisions."

Attaxion’s integration of the European Vulnerability Database marks a significant milestone in enhancing vulnerability management for organizations worldwide. By combining EUVD’s authoritative data with Attaxion’s extensive asset coverage and advanced analytics, security teams gain a powerful, comprehensive tool for faster, smarter, and more compliant vulnerability prioritization and remediation.
